It would seem Richard needs the db4-devel package installed in order to
compile bogofilter.

For what it's worth, I've just compiled and made available a FC5 package
for bogofilter w/db4[1], so I can confirm it will compile and no special
flags are needed to locate the Berkeley db headers etc. on Core 5.

SRPM is at
http://www.enlartenment.com/packages/fedora/5/SRPMS/bogofilter-1.0.2-1.fc5.mf.src.rpm if you're keen on rebuilding it locally. I haven't finished building i386 binaries yet, I'm waiting for the DVD to download ;-)
