OpenLDAP Faq-O-Matic: How do I force use of BerkeleyDB?

How do I force use of BerkeleyDB?

You can force configure to use a specific database manager using the --with-ldbm-api option.
To specify use of Sleepycat BerkeleyDB (release 2.x), use:
./configure --with-ldbm-api=berkeley

If you have installed BerkeleyDB such that its headers and libraries will not be found automatically by the C translator and linker, you will need to specify additional include and lib search directories. You may also find it useful to specify the thread and posix libs (I did). BTW, I used Berkeley 2.7.7.
Example:

  env CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/include" \
      LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/lib" \
      LIBS="-lpthread -lposix4" ./configure --with-ldbm-api=berkeley
