so cpp works as it can find the header

and compiling works

That means success.  It can't tell the version when you specify the
arguments.

So this should compile.

Assuming that /disk/mapserverdb/bdb/lib is in your system shared library
link path - see man ld.so or cat /etc/ld.so.conf (linux, others)

cpp works

and compiling doesn't.

so that tends to suggest that the -ldb-4.1 name is wrong in this case,
the config.log should record what failed when it tried to do the above
linking tests which all failed.

I remember something wierd like this once with SGI IRIX or something
where you had to add extra linking lines for threads in order to get BDB
to work (as it was compiled with those flags).  There's no good way to
test for this without adding another compile test.  config.log should
explain all.

You see why bdb-config --libs, bdb-config --cflags would be *so* much nicer?
