From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030131 Description of problem: Subversion does not seem to work with the combination of the i386 glibc(without nptl/tls) and db4. This is the error I get on an i586 system trying to create a new repository with svnadmin. # svnadmin create myrepository svn: Berkeley DB error while creating environment for filesystem myrep/db: Invalid argument It appears to be a problem with db4 not working with subversion with a non-nptl glibc. Some people have reported on the subversion discussion lists that recompiling db4 by replacing the --enable-posixmutexes switch with --disable-posixmutexes fixes the problem. I was able to fix the problem by tweaking the glibc spec file to allow an i586 build to include nptl/tls and then generating an glibc i586 target for the modified spec file. Normally an i586 system gets the i386(without nptl) version of glibc since there is only an i386(without nptl) and i686(with nptl) version of glibc in the fedora core distro. After changing to an i586 nptl glibc I have not had any problems(This is on a server without a gui so not apps were tested with the nptl i586 glibc). I have even tried upgrading to subversion-0.37 using the RPMs that are linked to from the official subversion site with the same results. It does not work with the non-nptl glibc on i586. I have not tested on an 386 (or 486) system but suspect the same problem would exist. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): subversion-0.32.1-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install fedora core with subversion on an i586 system 2. try to create a repository in your home directory with # svnadmin create myrepository Actual Results: An error occurred: svn: Berkeley DB error while creating environment for filesystem myrep/db: Invalid argument Expected Results: no errors and a full repository created Additional info:
