i've found a solution.

create a file named:

    /etc/ld.so.conf.d/db4-pthreads.conf

and put the following in it:

/lib/tls
/usr/lib/tls

then execute:

    # ldconfig

then rebuild db4:

# rpmbuild --rebuild \
ftp://mirror.stanford.edu/pub/mirrors/fedora/linux/core/4/SRPMS/db4-4.3.27-3.src.rpm

the rebuild pvfs2.

i can now configure and run the pvfs2 server.
