Yes, I did that manually via the "fink" program which puts files under
  /sw/include/db4/
  /sw/lib/

Thanks, that did it:
  ./configure --with-libdb-prefix=/sw/ CPPFLAGS=-I/sw/include/db4
(it is db4 and not db43 ... just including this bit for the archives).

There's a /usr/include/db.h that was getting picked up.  I didn't think
to look for it as I couldn't find the libdb*.a files elsewhere on the
machine.
