I have python2.4.1 installed on two machines:
-- one is Fedora core 1, where the bsddb module works fine
-- one is Redhat ES 3.0, and I installed mysql 4.1 (and
mysql-python2.1) after putting the newer python on the machine.
python2.2, which came with Redhat ES, works fine, so I suppose I
messed up the build.
I much appreciate any insight in how to fix this.

Here are some details:
When trying to open (or create) a db, I get this error
File "/opt/Python-2.4.1/Lib/bsddb/__init__.py", line 285, in hashopen
e = _openDBEnv()
File "/opt/Python-2.4.1/Lib/bsddb/__init__.py", line 339, in _openDBEnv
e.open('.', db.DB_PRIVATE | db.DB_CREATE | db.DB_THREAD | db.DB_INIT_LOCK |
db.DB_INIT_MPOOL)
bsddb._db.DBError: (38, 'Function not implemented -- process-private: unable to
initialize environment lock: Function not implemented')
I tried rebuilding python2.4.1, but 'make test' shows bsddb errors.
First, there is:
test_bsddb3 skipped -- Use of the `bsddb' resource not enabled
test_whichdb shows the environment lock error
At the end, it's anydbm, bsddb, shelve, and whichdb failed.
I don't which of the differences in setup are important here, but both
python.2.4.1 are installed in /opt
both have libdb-4.1, although slightly different:
The Fedora machine has libdb from db4-4.1.25-14.rpm
The Redhat, from db4-4.1.25-8.1 -- this one also has libdb_cxx-3.1.so
- libdb_cxx-3.3.so
