The reason you didn't 'need' the LDFLAGS=-R... or LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.. (or
select other options), is because the old logic didn't check if the db
it found for linking was the correct version. It would detect the db4
header file and detect it could link to some version of db (in /usr/lib
for instance). The new code checks to see if it can actually link to
the version of db that has the same version as was being looked for.
Hence the need for being able to resolve the path to the library at
runtime.
