It's looking for a *.so dynamic library, not the *.a static library.  
Unfortunately I've found that I have to build the BerkeleyDB library by hand, 
and then follow their archaic instructions in the READMEs involving the use of 
ar(1) to build a dynamic *.so from that.  *Then* it works.  Before that I was 
having to hand-frig the Makefiles to use the static library for recent CVS 
Enlightenment code and Gnome, which stank =O{
