Did you build on that machine? This could happen if you built on a machine
with different package versions.

You could also check 'rpm -q db4 db4-devel' and make sure the package
versions are consistent.

If you are trying to build on a machine different to the one you are running
on then you need to either:
(i) make sure they have the same db4 versions on each machine
(ii) link to db4 statically (you'll need to change the makefiles for that)

Cheers,

Martin.
