hi, you dont say what OS you're using, which doesnt help much here...

looks like its picking up the correct db.h but not the correct libdb-4.so.  if
its linux, make sure you haven't got the db4 and db4-devel rpms installed, as
even if you put /spare/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf it will still look in
/usr/lib first which is where the system db4 rpm throws the libs.  you could try
changing 'LDFLAGS=-L/spare/local/lib" to 'LDFLAGS=-L/spare/local/lib
-R/spare/local/lib".  if you use LD_LIBRARY_PATH, put /spare/local/lib in first,
or at least before /usr/lib.  if you're using crle/ldconfig then i'm not sure
how you override the system lib paths, if you can at all, i usually forcibly
remove the system db4 rpms to eliminate any conflict,but this is not advised
unless you know the OS really well.

oh, also make sure your libs have built correctly, do 'ldd -r
/space/local/lib/libdb-4.2.so' and make sure you don't get any errors.
