Do you have BDB 1.85 compatibility installed? eg. You should have
db_185.h somewhere. Also you should have libdb-1.so installed, or
alternatively libdb4-x.so or libdb.so should define __db185_open.

If you can work out where it should have found BDB then I can fix it.
Now that the BDB 4 support is in trunk I plan to modify configure to use
that in preference of 185 anyhow.

Sounds the same as I had before merging the win32 code. Probably a bug
in one of the earlier patches somewhere.

Cheers,
