Summary:                    configure not detecting BerkeleyDB libraries in
certain distros on x86_64 architectures
Description: 
The configure script does not detect BerkeleyDB libraries correctly for certain
distributions running on x86_64 architectures. Includes are detected correctly.

Architecture: x86_64
Distributions likely affected: 
- CentOS 6.4 (tested)
- LinuxMint 13 (tested)
- RHEL 6.4
- any distributions in which the directory containing the BDB libs is not called
"lib" (e.g. some distros have them in a "lib64" directory)

Additional Information: 
workarounds include:

- creating an appropriate /lib directory with a symlink to the appropriate
/lib64 library

I have found the issue in the configure file and will follow up with a patch in
less than a day. As such I have given it a high priority so as to get quick
confirmation and a patch applied and tested.
