It appears to not to find -ldb in the specified library search path.
You should verify that BerkeleyDB libraries were in fact installed
under /usr/local/BerkeleyDB/lib.  Configure does find db.h and
believes it to be DB2.

The command like looks appropriate for forcing use of DB2.
That is, you have the -I and -L flags prepended
to the appropriate environment variables and have selected
the right configure options to require DB2.

The question really is why didn't configure find -ldb in
the search path.  Check config.log.  It should provide an
indicatation as to the exact reason why the configure test
failed to find -ldb.
