 From configure's mention of unsigned short, I thought that that was the 
problem.  Evidently it's what comes next (after unsigned short)...  Good 
thing we checked config.log.

Mike,

Your problem seems to be that configure can't find/use what you have.  Is 
the berkeley db path in /etc/ld.so.conf?  If not, add it.  Have you run 
ldconfig?  With luck that'll solve your problem.  Also, that's about all I 
know on the loading of shared libraries.  If it doesn't help, let the 
mailing list know.  There are others who know more about shared libraries 
than do I.
