[Pvfs2-users] error is setting up storage space for PVFS2 1.5.1

[Greg Bruno]

i'm trying to setup pvfs2 v1.5.1 on an i386 machine running centos 4 update 3.

i've built pvfs2 in the following way:

./configure --prefix=/opt/pvfs2 --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-2.6
make
make install

then, i run:

/opt/pvfs2/bin/pvfs2-genconfig  /etc/pvfs2-fs.conf /etc/pvfs2-server.conf

and i take all the defaults (see the resulting configuration files below).

then, when i try to set up the storage space, i see:

/opt/pvfs2/sbin/pvfs2-server /etc/pvfs2-fs.conf
/etc/pvfs2-server.conf-localhost -f
[D 09:08:36.700649] PVFS2 Server version 1.5.1 starting.
[E 07/11 09:08] (null): Berkeley DB library configured to support only
DB_PRIVATE environments
[E 07/11 09:08] dbpf_getdb_env(//pvfs2-storage-space/5f591130/):
Invalid argument


it appears there may be an issue with pvfs2 and the berkeley db4 that
comes with centos 4 update 3. the berkeley db4 RPM on my system is one
that has been around since feb 2005:

Summary     : The Berkeley DB database library (version 4) for C.
Description :
The Berkeley Database (Berkeley DB) is a programmatic toolkit that
provides embedded database support for both traditional and
client/server applications. The Berkeley DB includes B+tree, Extended
Linear Hashing, Fixed and Variable-length record access methods,
transactions, locking, logging, shared memory caching, and database
recovery. The Berkeley DB supports C, C++, Java, and Perl APIs. It is
used by many applications, including Python and Perl, so this should
be installed on all systems.

is there something i need configure with the standard centos 4 update
3 db4 RPM in order to eliminate the above error?
