What is the full configure line you used?

--Jani

[2000-11-20 19:22 UTC] sniper@php.net

User feedback:
-----------

./configure --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local --with-mcrypt --with-mhash
--with-mcal=/usr/local/mcal --with-pspell=/usr/local/share/pspell --with-pdf
--with-gd=/usr/local/gd --with-zlib=shared --with-png --with-db2 --with-db3
--with-gdbm=shared --with-mysql=/usr --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6

----------

Minor update-- the blank library "-l -ldb" vanished when I removed the
--with-db3 from the configure line.  I hope this helps.

----------

Yes, I just remembered that I have fixed this already. =) 
You don't have Berkeley DB3 in your system. And the configure
script with php4.0.3pl1 was broken in that way as it didn't break
out if  the lib wasn't found.

I forget to say that you can always try the latest snapshot from http://snaps.php.net/
