They share code, in fact.

LOOKUP_INCLUDE is the special include file for lookup modules in Exim
(e.g. mysql, LDAP). Confusingly, it doesn't apply to basic DBM code
which is used also for other things. Try setting INCLUDE and DBMLIB
instead. For example, this is what I currently have:
USE_DB=yes
INCLUDE=-I/opt/local/include/db-4.1
DBMLIB=/opt/local/lib/db-4.1/libdb.a
(Use the correct paths on your host, of course!)
