Do you have multiple versions of BDB installed?  The configure script
gets confused if this is the case e.g. it doesn't find a header file
but does find a library file etc.

Hunt out all possible files with the name db.h/ndb.h etc, and do the
same for the libraries (libdb*.{a,so}), and do what has to be done...

I looked at the configure script, then remembered why I don't like
GNU's configure scripts.

I piked out and built the thing on a "clean" box, and distributed from
there.
