Hey guys,

I’m trying to create an apache 2.4.12 rpm file. But in order to do that I
need to create an apr-util rpm of a recent enough version to support it.

So running the rpmbuild command against the spec file I’m getting this error:

checking db1/db.h usability… no checking db1/db.h presence… no checking for db1/db.h… no checking db.h usability… no checking db.h presence… no checking for db.h… no checking for Berkeley DB 1 in the standard places… checking db_185.h usability… no checking db_185.h presence… no checking for db_185.h… no
*checking for Berkeley DB… not found*
*configure: error: Berkeley DB not found.*
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.yh0jGv (%build)

It’s claiming that Berkeley DB isn’t installed. But to me it looks like I
have the right libraries:

[root@repo:~] #rpm -qa | grep db4
libdb4-utils-4.8.30-13.el7.x86_64
libdb4-devel-static-4.8.30-13.el7.x86_64
libdb4-4.8.30-13.el7.x86_64
libdb4-devel-4.8.30-13.el7.x86_64

This is the part of the spec file that calls for db4:

%configure –with-apr=%{_prefix} \
–includedir=%{_includedir}/apr-%{apuver} \
–with-ldap –without-gdbm \
–with-sqlite3 –with-pgsql –with-mysql –with-freetds –with-odbc
\
–with-berkeley-db \
–with-crypto –with-openssl –with-nss \
–without-sqlite2

So my questions for today are, do I need to provide a path to the
–with-berkeley-db flag? If so, how do I determine the path to give it?
Lastly, is db4 really necessary to the build of apr-util? Would it be completely wrong just to build the rpm without it?

Thanks, Tim
