Paulo,

My Mandrake system uses db3, but I recently had to build and install db4 
for some tests.  Its "make install" put the files in 
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1, so I had to use "configure 
--with-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1" and things were ok after that.

Are you sure you're giving configure the correct path.? I accidentally used 
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB-4.1 and configure went and found my db3 install and 
bogofilter complained when I had it open the db4 database.

Have you looked at config.log?  The end of it usually has info about what 
was last tested and why configure quit.

If you can't get going from that, send us config.log, config.status, etc 
and maybe we can spot the problem.
