Assuming that option 2-4 all returned the same messages, then
your problem is simply that the configure script could not find a 
suitable database for the LDBM backend to use (ie. you've gotten
past the threads problem using any of those options).  

For example, if you install Berkeley DB 2.7.7 from www.sleepycat.com
on your system in the standard location, they you need to set the
following environment variables:

CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/include
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/lib

Likewise, you can set these to point to other databases so the
configure script can find them.
