Try one of these two: 

./configure --enable-prefer-db1		(from ./configure --help)
The patch at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=5058

If you try the patch, please add a note to the bug saying whether
it helps or not.

I'm assuming this is on Linux here. I know that people using Solaris
meet all sorts of compile problems too, but I don't know the answers
for those, not using Solaris. I don't know whether this problem is
one that hits BSD/Solaris/everything not Linux or not.
