I presume you mean to say you installed from source not using the packaging system. > - when I did check the rpm manager there is an older version, > now if I wnat to uninstall that I will break dependencies on a large number of other > files, and at the moment the system can't find my new db files. Install a new binary package, of db-devel. Or rebuild / make a package of a newer version. If you decide you want to make your own binary package, just download the tarball, install the source package on the old version, modify the spec to talk about the new version, then rebuild the package.
