   You are probably missing wallet dependencies and so the wallet was not enabled. See #26193 for a user who did the same thing.

   Otherwise post your ./configure summary.

   i compiled bitcoin core version 24.99 with BerkeleyDB 4.8.30

   with wallet = yes with sqlite = yes with bdb = no

   BDB isn’t being found by configure. Ensure it is actually installed, and pass any paths/flags to configure as required. If that doesn’t work, check in config.log, to see what is causing the BDB check to fail.

   createwallet should succeed, since you have descriptor wallets compiled in. Are you sure you are running the binary you have compiled?

   There should be no need for you to compile with BDB, which is only used for legacy wallets.
