You don't say what package you're trying to compile and on what system.
But this works on RH 7.x for gnome-libs-1.2.12 and Slackware 8.0 for
gnome-libs-whatever the version that comes there is. 
 
./configure --prefer-db1 

You'll find in it ./configure --help; and it seems to get needed if
you have db3(-devel) installed.

Frank Belew made a patch which he hopes will make this configure
option unnecessary. I have attached it and will put it in Bugzilla
under http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50935. If it works
(or doesn't work) for people, _please_ follow up in Bugzilla: it
would be so nice to get this bug closed.
