Hmm, I didn't do anything special though. According
to the build page on wiki, it said you need:

- db4-devel
- krb5-devel
- libtermcap-devel
- ncurses-devel

All the packages are availabe on Ubuntu, except libtermcap-devel. So
I installed termcap-compat.

Your problem seems to be with db4. Unfortunately, I'm currently at work
now, and here I have a Centos 4.1 for my build, and an older version
of ubuntu for other works. My ubuntu machine is at home, which I can't
check right now.

I can't remember which version of db4 I have, I think I have both
db4-2 and db4-3 installed. I'll give a list of the package versions
I have, when I get home this evening. But it's early morning now,
in Shanghai :)

But I'm not well versed with that build environment though. Makefile
and stuff have never been my cup of tea.
