#682 closed defect (fixed)

subversion fails to configure correctly for db4 from darwinports

Description

On a Mac OS X 10.2.6 system 'sudo port install subversion' fails to work correctly because subversion's configure doesn't correctly link with the db4 lib that port installs.

I worked around this by adding a symlink (libdb4.dylib->libdb-4.1.dylib).

The problem appears to be the '-ldb4' instead of '-ldb-4'

I suppose this could also be a bug in the db4 port (not installing a libdb4.dylib symlink).

I replicated this on two different 10.2.6 systems.

I met the exact same bug. The dirty patch for subversion is here.

I've taken Ryo Kogule's configure patch and rolled that in to the update I have pending for 0.27.0 (currently pending in bugzilla #798). Thanks for the submission. Jason
