Ok, so it's got libdb, libdb-4, libdb-4.1...

Yp, it is...

Looking in libc.. ;)

So, this is weird... Either it's not finding libdb, it's finding some
OTHER libdb, or your libdb does not have "dbopen".

And here it's looking for libdb-4.0, but you don't have 4.0, you have
4.1.

Good question!  :)

Any chance you could "downgrade" to bdb-4.0?  Also, file a bug report
about searching for bdb-4.1...
