nevermind, I got it. turns out I typed in the path for the include files incorrectly. Also still received the error, but fixed it with:

CPPFLAGS=”-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/include”
export CPPFLAGS
LDFLAGS=”-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib -R/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib”
export LDFLAGS
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=”/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib”
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I tried adding the path for the include files in the environment, but keep getting a “Permission Denied” error, even as root. any thoughts?

Please verify your BerkeleyDB path before saying it doesn’t work. Obviously not everyone has version 3.3. I have 4.7, myself, and had to modify the command slightly. But as long as you installed BDB successfully and point correctly, it should find the libraries needed without issue.
