Phil,
I think you are right in saying there are more than one version of libdb
installed.
rpm -qa|grep db gives the following:
gdbm-1.8.3-228.1
gdbm-devel-1.8.3-228.1
db41-devel-4.1.25-73.1
db-utils-4.2.52-86.3
samba-pdb-3.0.4-1.32
db40-devel-4.0.14-148.3
db-4.2.52-86.3
gdb-6.1-1.7
db-devel-4.2.52-86.3
db40-4.0.14-148.3
./test_dbfn gives the following:
Exim's db functions tester: interface type is db (v3/4)
DBM library: Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.2.52: (June
30, 2004)
Test the functions

It may mean, that it is trying to use 4.2.52 version whereas exim has
been compiled with 4.0 because 4.2 was compilation error.
ldd exim_dbmbuild gives as follows:
ldd /usr/exim/bin/exim_dbmbuild
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x40022000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x40037000)
libdb-4.0.so => /usr/lib/libdb-4.0.so (0x40068000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x4010c000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
I can not delete 4.2 versions, as apache, perl etc. all depends on it.
Some ideas with multiple versions will really be helpful.
Many thanks
Sujit
