install fedora core 4 issues

I've been trying to get Ice working in fedora core 4. Essentially, I'm installing from source. I can get the IcePy stuff working, however, the IceJ stuff is giving me a problem. The issue appears to be with the BerkeleyDB and java api. When I run the test for Freeze/dbmap, the JVM throws a Hot Spot error. I have the proper db4 library (BerkeleyDB4.2) linked (at least I think I do) and I created LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to define the library path for Berkeley, nonetheless, I'm still getting a hot spot error.

I'm not convinced yet that this is a JVM issue, and Maybe this is really something for the Berkeley crew to deal with? But I thought I'd try here first.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Keith
