Ok, sounds odd.

You could try giving --with-bdb-dir to somewhere bdb isn't installed.

If that fails you could try uninstalling the bdb -dev packages, maybe it
won't find it then.

Or we'd accept a patch to enable use of bdb v2 in box. Box only uses it
in one file IIRC and all the docs are at
http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/ref/toc.html
especially section 28. Probably not too hard to port it given that v1
and v4.1+ work.

Or when I get a spare half hour I'll look at fixing configure so it's
only a warning. (Or patch accepted for same.)

Cheers,

Martin.
