Comment(by mina.macports@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 dluke@…]:
 > ok, inside the build directory there should be a config.log  which
 should shed some light on why the test for BDB is failing.

 Here's the relevant portion:

 Hmm. Notably absent is an {{{ #include <db.h> }}} I'd expect to see there.

 Perhaps the test intentionally shouldn't load it (the {{{ #define
 APU_WANT_DB }}} {{{ #include <apu_want.h> }}} suspiciously looks like it
 might be a replacement), but its simply not happening - as db.h needs to
 make it there for these defines its failing on to exist.

 On a whim, I took another look at the failing command:
 {{{
 cd
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports
 .org_release_ports_devel_subversion-perlbindings/subversion-
 perlbindings-5.12/work/subversion-1.7.6" && ./configure
 --prefix=/opt/local --with-berkeley-
 db=:/opt/local/include/db46:/opt/local/lib/db46:db-4.6 --with-
 neon=/opt/local --with-apr=/opt/local/bin/apr-1-config --with-apr-
 util=/opt/local/bin/apu-1-config --without-apxs
 --mandir=\${prefix}/share/man --disable-neon-version-check --with-
 serf=/opt/local --with-sasl=/opt/local
 }}}

 Tweaked it slightly (specifically --with-berkeley-db=db.h:THEREST...), and
 it appears to have worked:
 {{{
 cd
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports
 .org_release_ports_devel_subversion-perlbindings/subversion-

 serf=/opt/local --with-sasl=/opt/local
 ...
 ...
 checking for socket in -lsocket... no
 checking for availability of Berkeley DB... yes
 checking whether to look for SASL... yes
 ...
 ...
 }}}

 I'm not sure however why its not there in the first place, or how this can
 actually be fixed in the port/configure script to invoke it this way...
