Could you send me the config.log file? I wonder why it isn't trying to
find libdb1. This sleepycat/glibc marriage is going too far. I will
probably phase out any libdb usage in Coda pretty soon, it is a source
for too many problems. Just look at configs/coda_macros.m4 the check for
CODA_CHECK_DB185, I don't really want to make that macro more convoluted.

And Coda isn't the only project that is facing these problems, I believe
the Samba project already developed and switched to their own simple
database, "tdb".
