Hm, the knowledge base article is actually incomplete/incorrect, you are
supposed to compile the Berkeley DB library, install it in your home
directory, and then point Evolution to that. The Berkeley DB
documentation explains how to compile it; it basically boils down to
../dist/configure and then make (if I recall correctly -- please check,
I haven't done it in a while).
Here is an excerpt from the Evolution README file ("Compiling Berkeley
DB" section):
* Get the Sleepycat tarball from:
http://www.sleepycat.com/update/snapshot/db-3.1.17.tar.gz
* Install the content somewhere _other_ than the evolution source tree.
e.g: NOT evolution/db-3.1.17
* Compile according to instructions, but installing into some custom
prefix, for example:
../dist/configure --prefix=/home/user/berkeleydb-3.1.17
* Autogen Evolution specifying that it has to look for the DB
library there, for example:
./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gnome
--with-db3-includes=/home/user/berkeleydb-3.1.17/include
--with-db3-libs=/home/user/berkeleydb-3.1.17/lib
Sorry for the confusion, we will update the Knowledge Base article.
