+Some quirks to document when building bitcoin/core on centos:
+
+berkeley db is not in the yum repos:
+
+  download from:  http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-5.3.21.tar.gz
+
+  Install optional dependencies:
+  ```
+  sudo yum install tcl
+  sudo yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel
+  sudo yum install sharutils
+  ```
+  Install Berkeley DB
+  ```
+  cd build_unix
+  ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-compat185 --enable-dbm --disable-static --enable-cxx
+  make
+  ```
+  then run
+  ```
+  sudo make docdir=/usr/share/doc/db-5.3.21 install
+  sudo chown -v -R root:root /usr/bin/db_* /usr/include/db{,_185,_cxx}.h /usr/lib/libdb*.{so,la} /usr/share/doc/db-5.3.21
+  ```
+  when you run db_recover or other commands, you may encounter “libdb-5.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
+  ```
+  sudo /sbin/ldconfig
+  ```
+  Source:http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/server/db.html
+
+you must link during compile step
+
+  ```
+  ./configure --includedir=/usr/include/boost/ --with-incompatible-bdb
+  ```
+
+and then run ```make```.
