I ran into the same problems with my slackware install, and I had to
completely remove all of the libdb.so's . Slackware comes with libdb on it,
and for some reason, if there are more than one, every thing falls to pieces.
I put all of my libdb's in /usr/local/db/lib. and it was conflicting with the
ones in /usr/lib/. I even at one point had multiple versions (i.e 3.1 3.2 3.3) in
that /usr/local/db/lib directory, and it was choking.
Anyway, I hope this helps. Let me know if this does not help.

BTW: here are the files that *I* deleted:
/usr/lib/libdb.a
/usr/lib/libdb1.a
/usr/lib/libdb1_p.a
/usr/lib/libdb_p.a
/usr/lib/libdb.so
/usr/lib/libdb1.so
/usr/include/db.h
/usr/include/db1
/usr/include/db1/db.h
/usr/include/db_185.h
