I just tripped across this a couple of weeks ago.  For me, it was because 
there's no symlink for libdb.so.1 in /usr/lib called libdb.so.  The Configure 
script determines that -ldb should be available one way, but the compiler / 
linker uses another method to actually load the library.  I created the 
symlink, and everything worked okay after that.

Hope this helps,
