Ah, I remember this problem. apr-util looks for BDB's db_create using
this autoconf test program

char db_create();

int main() {
db_create()
; return 0; }

but Debian builds BDB using symbols with a suffix (configured with the
--with-uniquename option I think) and so the test program won't work
unless it includes the db.h header file.

I've been meaning to report this to the apr list, but I never got
round to it.

If you build your own version of BDB it should work, you may need to
add /usr/local/db4/lib (or whatever you called it) to your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
