Gyepi,

Glad you picked up that detail, i.e. "static".  I believe I manually
added a symlink for "libdb.a" on my system, i.e.

[relson at osage cvs]$ ls -l /usr/lib/libdb*4*.a
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1116662 Aug 22 05:24
/usr/lib/libdb-4.1.a
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           11 Dec 28 08:58
/usr/lib/libdb-4.a -> libdb-4.1.a
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1215336 Aug 22 05:24
/usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.1.a

Note the newer date for the symlink.

With the symlink, configure works fine.
