OpenLDAP Installation - not finding the BerkelyDB

Question

I'm installing OpelLdap on a RHEL 5; I used instructions found at http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/113607.

All went well, until running './configure' for OpenLDAP - the following error was recorded:

checking for gethostbyaddr_r... yes checking number of arguments of ctime_r... 2 checking number of arguments of gethostbyname_r... 6 checking number of arguments of gethostbyaddr_r... 8 checking db.h usability... yes checking db.h presence... yes checking for db.h... yes checking for Berkeley DB major version in db.h... 5 checking for Berkeley DB minor version in db.h... 1 checking if Berkeley DB version supported by BDB/HDB backends... yes checking for Berkeley DB link (default)... no configure: error: BDB/HDB: BerkeleyDB not available

I have Googled like a maniac but have been unsuccessful to find a resolution - any tips on areas to explore?

Thanks

do yum install db4-devel

(or just install the prepackaged openldap, yum install openldap-servers openldap-clients
