MacPorts 1.8.2 fails to build db46 on Mac OS X 1.6.3

Question

I'm trying to put a development environment on my Mac, and to do so I need to install several packages which require db46.

When running

sudo port install db46

I get the following error:

I have removed my /usr/local folder completely and it does not seem to help.

Mac OS X 1.6.3? I hope you mean 10.6.3. Anyway, the MacPorts bug reporting system is the place to report these things, not StackOverflow. You will need to talk with them there to get this worked out.
