Hm. I've been using db4-4.3.28 on NetBSD (pkgsrc) for quite some time now...

$ pkg_info |grep db4
db4-4.3.28          Berkeley DB version 4 from Sleepycat Software

... It was compiled with...

CONFIGURE_ARGS=--enable-cxx --enable-rpc --enable-shared 
--enable-compat185 --includedir=/usr/pkg/include/db4 
--program-transform-name=s,db_,db4_, --disable-java 
--host=i386--netbsdelf --prefix=/usr/pkg


...and I have had absolutely no problems. I've made no changes to the 
pkgsrc packages to make this work.

However, a couple days ago I attempted to build on Linux (RedHat EL 4) 
using pkgsrc and had problems. But these problems were due to the fact 
that RedHat's package for db4 is version 4.2.x, and pkgsrc built 4.3.28. 
Now netatalk's configure script gets confused because it sees the 
headers for 4.3.x and the libraries for 4.2.x. Yuck!

Anyway I got around it by beating up the configure script a little bit. 
I had to 's/\(db4.4.\)2/\13/g' and it worked. Luckily IMO. Seems to 
work, but I'm expecting maybe to have runtime errors.

It seems that configure just needs to be fixed up a little and all 
should be well, but I don't really know enough about how to make the 
proper changes in this case.
