Chris,

Next time, try "locate | grep libdb-4".  It'll shorten the list :-)

My workstation is Mandrake 9.1.  I use db3-3 for releases and db4-1 for
development.  I don't know much about Redhat 9, so don't have a
definitive answer.

When I do a libdb4 build I use "configure
--with-libdb-prefix=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1"

What may help is to install the source rpm, then use "autogen
--with-libdb-prefix=/usr".

HTH,

David
