Sam, AC_CHECK_FUNC looks for functions and explicitly avoids macros, which fails with BDB 4.xx versions that decorate function names and #define db_env_create db_env_create_40xx.

The patch attached apparently works fine, after installing both http://ac-archive.sourceforge.net/Installed_Packages/ax_path_bdb.html http://ac-archive.sourceforge.net/Miscellaneous/ax_compare_version.html

Well, I'm not going to install this stuff. That's just adding more stuff that can break. And, I'm sure this will break configure for BDB < 4.

This is what happens when BDB changes APIs several times a year. Configure works for me for bdb 4.3. If it breaks when I upgrade to a newer BDB, I'll fix it then.
