No, I couldn't get the package to install, so I installed from source. I went to sleepycat.com and downloaded the source. I did the configure/make/make install thing.
Then I created the BerkeleyDB link in /usr/local to link to the BerkeleyDB.3.3 directory under there (it's required for DB_File). After that, I went to search.cpan.org and downloaded the DB_File-1.808 module and installed it.

I issued a search using i /DB_File/ and the only one I found was 1.808 and an explicit install of that failed with the same error. Was that exactly what you did? Thanks Matt
