Yes, I know. I've been trying to do that almost all day today. First I
tried the latest libdb version, 4.2.52 but for some libtool problem it
won't create shared libraries, just static libs. I still don't
understand what the problem is though, libtool 1.4 says I can create
shared libs but it won't, libtool 1.5 (which is included) says I
can't.

So I tried an older version of libdb, 3.3.11. That exits while
creating the libs with an error like 'unable to create .libs' or
something (I forgot). I read somewhere that a newer version of libtool
should fix that problem.... duh! 1.4 says `I won't` and 1.5 says `I
can't` (create shared libs).

So I'm stuck again.... :( :(

Any ideas? Maybe?
