I need to install libdb-devel on a Centos 6 to compile my program. I managed to find it here, but I cannot install it as there is some conflict with an already installed db4-devel package
Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/include/db.h from install of libdb-devel-5.2.36-5.el6.R.x86_64 conflicts with file from package db4-devel-4.7.25-22.el6.x86_64

I cannot delete db4-devel because yum and others depends on it. What can I do ?
rpm -q --whatrequires db4-devel
return? yum doesn't need that package.perl-devel
. Very curiously I can now uninstall db4-devel without conflict with yum. I am not sure what is going on and suspect I was very tired yesterday and made some stupid mistake somewhere.
