There appear to be several incompatible versions of libdb-4.2.so with
the same name (;_;).   For example,  I get this problem with debian
sarge, but not ubuntu dapper.

One solution is to load the libdb-4.2.so distributed with the lkb:
lkb/lib/linux.x86.32/libdb-4.2.so

This can be done by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/bond/delphin/lkb/lib/linux.x86.32

If you use the dot.bashrc in lkb/etc/dot.bashrc it will set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH for you.

Hope this helps.
