You should probably add detailed info to that bug report about the flavor and version of Linux you're using, since nobody on Python-Dev has reported problems building 2.3.

This is maybe not the same problem that Zooko had, but bsddb doesn't build on my Linux 2.4.10 (SuSE 7.3) box either where Sleepycat db-4.1.25 was installed from the sources. It puts db.h under /usr/local/include per default where Python's setup.py doesn't find it.

It used to be sufficient for me to add this directory to the db4 incdirs (see patch below) until 2.3c1 -- but this doesn't work for the CVS version any more.

And yes, test_time fails with "AssertionError: AEST", too. For 2.3c1 as well as for current CVS.
