This is because you installed BerkleyDB version 3.x. And ld is linking
to db 1.85 I think.

1) Wanna know another dirty hack(I know I'll get flamed for this;))
if you have libdb.a in /usr/lib , add ln -s /usr/lib/libdb.a
/usr/lib/libdb1.a. Anyway, I never said that.

2) Nicer way. Edit the makefile to fix it to -ldb for instance

3) Compile Berkley Db 1.85

Anyway....I never said anything
