	Sigh.  I just went through this exercise on my laptop.  After I 
checked that sleepycat was up to date with the compatability option I
still got that.   I then buggered the configure script to dummy out the
db185 tests.  Then you have to check the Makefiles and make sure that
-ldb is in all the library lists.  Once the lib is installed, to get the
rest of gnome to compile (link actually) you have to edit gnome-config
(the executable, wherever it gets put, as I configure with --prefix=/usr
it was in /usr/bin) you go to the libs section and add -ldb -- I basically
inserted it after wherever I found an "-ldl".
	Another heads up is that you will need a recent "popt" package
(not a gnome package) to get GConf to compile.
	I'm tempted to put up a page explaining these steps but in reality
that pretty much covers the low-lights.
