BDB XML 2.1.8 requires Berkeley DB 4.3.  As you have found, it will  
not compile
against 4.2.

You must use the version of Berkeley DB that is shipped with BDB XML.

Yes.

You can leave the existing (4.2) version exactly where it is.  Just  
don't try
to compile BDB XML against it.

The script that comes with BDB XML, buildall.sh, should have enough
switches for you to get the job done.  Look at its help output  
(buildall.sh --help).
By default, it will install ALL of its libraries in the directory,
<path_to_distribution>/dbxml-2.1.8/install

You can control the installation directories using the "-- 
prefix=<path>" switch
(for all libraries) or the individual switches (e.g. --with- 
berkeleydb-prefix=<path>).

Once you've built all of the pieces, you need to then use pybsddb to
build/install a python module against the DB 4.3 installation you  
just built.
That module needs a new name (one that is not "bsddb"), and then
you should be able to import that module in your BDB XML python
scripts running in apache.

George
