This would tend to indicate that you've installed the BDB libraries and 
headers in a location that is not in your compilers default search path, 
thus it cannot find BDB 4.2.52.  You need to use the appropriate compiler 
flags.  If you search the list archives (http://www.openldap.org), you'll 
find that that question has been answered a few hundred times.

You may also wish to get the two patches for BDB 4.2.52, otherwise you will 
immediately run into problems.

<http://www.stanford.edu/services/directory/openldap> has them, as well as 
other documentation you may wish to read.
