	Thanks, that's what I needed to know. (Though I already upgraded to RPM 
v4 and db3 (and nuked my RPM database in the process, but that's another 
subject...)).
	I made the symlink that you mentioned:

	ln -s /usr/lib/libdb-3.1.so /usr/lib/libdb3.so

	And now the configure script detects it correctly, but when creating 
the config.status file, it says now:

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating tests/Makefile
config.status: creating tests/bogoutil/Makefile
config.status: creating tests/bogofilter/Makefile
config.status: creating bogofilter.spec
config.status: creating dcdflib/Makefile
config.status: creating dcdflib/src/Makefile
config.status: creating contrib/Makefile
config.status: creating doc/Makefile
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: executing depfiles commands
+ --with-db=/usr
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.12139: --with-db=/usr: No such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.12139 (%prep)

	As I mentioned above, I had to add by hand a "--with-db=/usr" to the 
configure script to make it detect the Berkeley DB. Any ideas?
