I had the same problem. Haven't figured out what it is yet. The configure
script claims to be looking in '/opt/db' for 3.3.11, but isn't finding it,
although it is installed there. FYI, this is with the M3 tarball on a
linux 2.4.3 system. I haven't tried the checked out copy with an external
db path yet.

I personally don't think we need to stay in the CVS mindset. If it would
count I would vote +1 for moving from "SVN" to ".svn". It is only 1 #define
:)
And possibly a quick directory rename script for the developers.
