Chris,

Thank you for downloading 0.15.3-2 and helping in the test.  Now let's
see if we can get you going :-)

The configure script has the responsibility for finding it.  Life is
complicated by the many different places that are used by the different
distributions.

Also useful is the "config.log" file that's written during
configuration.

'Tis good you have db4-devel, 'cause it's necessary for building.  From
your RPM/BUILD/bogofilter-0.15.13.2 directory, run command

   rpm -ql db4-devel | grep libdb-4

and use the library's path in:

  ./autogen.sh --with-libdb-prefix={path}

If that doesn't get further, please make the outputs available
(including config.log).

AFAIK, the rpmmacros file doesn't have package specific info like that.
