Looks familar :) 

Have you got db2 or db3 present on that system? I suspect so.
I think you ran afoul of 

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51192
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50935

Is there a --prefer-db1 option for ./configure? You could try that.
Failing that, remove db2 and db3, try again? 

If either of these work, please get a bugzilla account and add to
the report so people who meet it can look there and know what to 
do about it.

(The correct fix is apparently to make configure notice this
stuff, but I wouldn't know where to begin.)
