I had this problem the other day. And it was a screwy problem to fix. I had to get the
latest BerkeleyDB, something like v4.0.14 (www.sleepycat.com) install it. Then
reinstall the DB_File and I believe Storable modules making sure they pointed to the
new install of BerkeleyDB. Of course, when I went through all of this I screwed up rpm
somehow and other parts of my system so bad I surrendered and wiped my machine (which
is my development desktop) and loaded RedHat 7.2. I think that trying to figure out
the problem I uninstalled some RPMs I needed. If I had CAREFULLY followed the
instructions for installing DB_File that came with the 4.0.14 BerkeleyDB install I
think I would have been ok.
It has been a few weeks since I went through this and I have seen a squirrel or two
since then and it was a bad experience so I have tried to block the memories of the
awful awful day. I hope this helps, but I doubt it will. Good luck.

Subject: Problem With DB_File Installation On Red-Hat Linux 7.1
I'm trying to install DB_File on our Red-Hat Linux. 7.1 box and am
getting an error about having 2 versions of BerkeleyDB installed. The
log of the installation follows. Any help would be appreciated.
