I tried installing bitcoin core on my raspberry pi a while back and got a berkeleyDB error when running ./configure.

The exact error is this:
Code:
configure: error: Found Berkeley DB other than 4.8, required for portable wallets (--with-incompatible-bdb to ignore or --disable-wallet to disable wallet functionality)

I ran the installation of all of the dependencies (including libdb-dev, libdb++-dev) and still can't work out where the error is coming from?

I know I need the version of 4.8 of berkeley db, just can't work out how to install it, I noticed in the realease notes that it says there's something different that has to be done for ubuntu and it doesn't work on raspbian.

I also found this so I'm working through some of those suggestions but quite a few are throwing other errors.

Use --with-incompatible-bdb as advised on ./configure. It will work just fine.
