Gnome Clock Problems

I keep getting this error if I try to add a clock applet:

"the panel encountered a problem while loading OAFIID:Gnome_ClockApplet"

Running the applet from terminal gives me the following:

/opt/gnome/libexec/clock-applet: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've looked for a package and have come up short.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Shane

Re: Gnome Clock Problems

See if installing the 'db' package fixes it. Might be a missing dependency somewhere.

Re: Gnome Clock Problems

Install version 4.4.x of the db package. You either have 4.3, or some unsupported updated version of 4.5.
