Just for posterity

Without getting into it step by step I did basically the same things save step 14 (didn't change anything and haven't run into any issues).
To address the:
Code:
error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Code:
# for i in `locate libdb-4.2 | grep .so`;
> do yum whatprovides $i | grep installed
> done
compat-db.i386 4.2.52-5.1 installed
#
