Subversion error svn -- version /usr/lib/hpux64/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libdb.so

[satha]

After installing SVN Subversion I tried to check the version by using command svn --version 

I get the below error

/usr/lib/hpux64/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libdb.so'.

Killed

i went to the usr/lib/hpux64/dld.so and checked is there any file libdb.so 

i tried to reinstall with different versions but same error 

 db dependiences are also installed 

Please help in fixing the issue

   I don't use "SVN Subversion", so I know nothing, but if I did know
anything about it, I still wouldn't know what you're doing.

> After installing SVN Subversion [...]

   What, exactly, did you install, how, exactly, on what, exactly?  Did
you compile and link the software yourself, or are you using some
pre-built package from someplace?

      uname -a

   Eh?  "went to"?  "checked" how, exactly?  With what result?  As
usual, showing actual commands with their actual output can be more
helpful than your summary of what it all means.

> i tried to reinstall with different versions but same error

   _Which_ "different versions"?  "different" from _what_?

> db dependiences are also installed

   Again, what, exactly, did you install, how, exactly?

> Please help in fixing the issue

   You first?

What did I do?

Step:1:-i went to http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/depothelper-2.20/

Step2:-i downloaded depothelper-2.20-ia64_64-11.31.depot

Step3:-i went to http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/cgi-bin/search?term=subversion&Search=Search

Step 4:- I downloaded all 24 run-time dependencies using HTTP Download subversion-1.14.2-ia64_64-11.31.depot

Step 5:-swinstall -s depothelper-2.20-ia64_64-11.31.depot

Step 6:-depothelper subversion

Step 7:-checked the svn -- version

Step 8:-/usr/lib/hpux64/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libdb.so'.

Killed

It would be a great help if it fixes

If you've installed all the dependencies then you've installed db-18.1.40 which contains the shared library libdb.so

By default it will have been installed in /usr/local/lib/hpux64

So if your svn binary isn't looking there for it, you probably need to add it to your SHLIB_PATH environment variable (from memory). If you want to use a version control system like subversion, this implies you are doing some form of development on HP-UX? If you don't know about basics like search paths for shared libraries, this doesn't bode well.
