Actually, even when I do have it compiled and installed it does not find it.  I compile with --prefix=/sup and the gnome-libs does not have a -L/sup/lib in the compile line so it never finds the library.

/sup/build/gnome-libs-1.2.3 > ls /sup/lib/libdb*
/sup/lib/libdb.a
/sup/build/gnome-libs-1.2.3 > nm /sup/lib/libdb* | grep dbopen
00000444 T __db_dbopen
         U __db_dbopen
/sup/build/gnome-libs-1.2.3 > 

the relevant config.log part is attached.
