[gentoo-user] Subversion emerge fails

[Dirk Uys]

Hi everyone.

When I emerge subversion, i get the following error:

<snip>
checking for availability of Berkeley DB... no
configure: error: Berkeley DB 4.0.14 wasn't found.

!!! Please attach the following file when seeking support:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/dev-util/subversion-1.5.0_rc5/work/subversion-1.5.0-rc5/config.log

 * ERROR: dev-util/subversion-1.5.0_rc5 failed.

Here is the output of eix sys-libs/db:

I'm running ~x86, so I don't expect things to always work. Is this a
bug, or is there something else wrong?
