Where do you have it installed? What package owns it? ("rpm -qf
<filename>" is good for that.) Maybe the directory isn't in
/etc/ld.so.conf? In general, libdb.so.2 on Red Hat 8.0 is provided by
gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-22.  For the record, it is rather unusual for that
package to provide that library.
