You need the static version of libdb 3.1.17  Mine is
/usr/lib/libdb-3.1.a

In the evolutio README (look in the top of your evolution build
directory).
       * Berkeley's libdb 3.1.17

          It is important to use *exactly* this version, and not a
          later one, to compile Evolution.  Please check the "Building
          Berkeley DB" section below for more information.
