Does db_hotbackup work under Linux 3.0?

user4374420Aug 19 2014 — edited Aug 26 2014

Does anyone know how to build BDB such that db_hotbackup works under Linux?  I always get

   db_hotbackup: BDB5129 Cannot copy data from a PRIVATE environment

   db_hotbackup: BDB5043 HOT BACKUP FAILED!

I'm using SUSE Linux 3.0.82-0.7-default, and get the same messages under RedHat 2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64.  It actually did work under a free EC2 instance running Amazon Linux 3.10.42-52.145.amzn1.x86_64, but I'd love to make it work under SUSE.

None of the configuration advice in "Chapter 7. Building Berkeley DB for UNIX/POSIX" has worked for me.

[ This is a follow-on to my question of July 13, 2014: "Linux, want DB_PRIVATE off". ]
