OK, can I provide a data point, then?

[root 11:14:38]/home/users/morse/bin$ rpm -ivh 
bogofilter-0.9.1.2-1.i586.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
         libdb-3.3.so   is needed by bogofilter-0.9.1.2-1
         libc.so.6(GCC_3.0)   is needed by bogofilter-0.9.1.2-1
[root 11:14:48]/home/users/morse/bin$ locate libdb-3.3.so
/lib/libdb-3.3.so
/usr/lib/libdb-3.3.so
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3/lib/libdb-3.3.so

I really don't understand the first, since it appears to be there. (From 
the tarball, I can get through using ./configure --with-
db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3/ , but then I fail all tests on "make check".
)

On the second I guess I stray from the ideal - I appear to have libc.so.6 
linked to libc-2.1.3.so instead.
