BDB 4.0.14 static?

I've always compiled subversion with shared dynamic linking turned on.

I'm working on trying to compile svnadmin statically for the first time
and it keeps saying:
... -ldb-4.0 -lexpat /usr/local/apache2/lib/libapr-0.la -lm -lcrypt -lnsl
-ldl
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldb
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Which is kind of strange because the compile says "-ldb-4.0" which exists
in the /usr/lib/libdb-4.0.a library.

The ./configure script has this to say:
checking for Berkeley DB in /usr/include and /usr/lib (as db4)... no
checking for Berkeley DB in /usr/include and /usr/lib (as db)... yes

I thought I remembered an email thread about this but I've not been able
to find the thread so far (but I'm still looking).

Can anyone give me a clue? I've tried several variations on the
./configure command line to try to force it but no luck so far. Of course
everything works great when compiled shared/dynamically.

   Thanks!
