 The apache2 port fails on Leopard with this error:

 `/opt/local/share/apr-1/build/libtool --silent --mode=link
 /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -I/opt/local/include  -O2   -L/opt/local/lib/db44
 -L/opt/local/lib -o htpasswd  htpasswd.lo   -L/opt/local/lib -lpcre
 /opt/local/lib/libaprutil-1.la -ldb-4.5 -lsqlite3 -lexpat -liconv
 /opt/local/lib/libapr-1.la -lpthread
 ld: library not found for -ldb-4.5
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
 make[2]: *** [htpasswd] Error 1
 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
 make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1`


 I was able to find the required libraries and fix the problem like this:

 `cd /opt/local/lib
 sudo ln -s db45/libdb* .`

 which links the library files from local/db45/lib into local/lib, where
 apache2 expects to find them.
