I installed BerkeleyDB in /usr/local, so the header info is in
/usr/local/include, the libraries are in /usr/local/lib, etc.  

The OpenLDAP configure script finds db.h..here is a snippet from the
configure log:

checking for db.h... yes
checking for Berkeley DB link (default) ... no
checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb)... yes
checking for Berkeley DB thread support... yes

I'm not sure how important the second line is...wonder if it's a
show-stopper?
