Please, clear advises about how to make OpenLDAP configure find correct version
of Berkeley DB. Document, like http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin22/install.html
should contain this information.

I had a fairly new version of Berkeley DB (4.2.52) installed by distro. When
compiling OpenLDAP, it refused to use this version and requested older (3.3.11
version). Still all documentation about OpenLDAP states that newest version of
BDB should be used.

Then I tested if this problem exists if I compile BDB, but it did not help.

Then I was changing my environment settings, to make it find this 3.3.11
version, which should also be already installed by distro.
I did find 3.3.11 version with command: "grep DB_VERSION_STRING
/usr/include/db3/db.h" but I could not set environment for that BDB and always
got the same complainment.
Guide to set environment, to find correct BDB version should be written to
OpenLDAP's Faq-o-matic and installation documentation. Specially as this version
of OpenLDAP (2.2.17) did not accept newest version of BDB (4.2.52).

Now I'm compiling BDB 3.3.11 from sources, if it would help.


Output of configuration:
"checking for db.h... yes
checking for Berkeley DB link (default)... no
checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb42)... no
checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-42)... no
checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-4.2)... yes
checking for Berkeley DB version match... Berkeley DB version mismatch
