    Hmm, I have no expeiernce with slackware, but it really does sound like incompatible libraries, or two different version copies on your system...

      yeah, slackware has multiple versions of db
      from a `locate libdb|egrep so` 
      /lib/libdb-3.1.so
/lib/libdb.so
/lib/libdb.so.2
/lib/libdb.so.3
/lib/libdb1.so.2
/lib/libdb1.so.2.1.3
/lib/libdb2.so.3
/usr/i386-slackware-linux-gnulibc1/lib/libdb.so.1
/usr/i386-slackware-linux-gnulibc1/lib/libdb.so.1.85.4
/usr/lib/libdb1.so
/usr/lib/libdb2.so

        hmm, not sure if that is good or not... but what about the .h files, the problem comes from the combination of the two, so you need to look for those as well.

      yeah, slackware has multiple versions on there... apparently they're supposed to peacefully co-exist (:

        hmm, sounds like you are looking at libdb.so.3 and /db2/db.h
        dunno how to fix that, though...
