Why are you using --without-db? There's work to be done to build against external db of unknown random version. FWIW, the pain of trying to autoconfigure against random installs of Berkeley DB was *THE* reason for internalizing Berkeley DB within rpm in the first place.
Tried to configure --without-db because this configure error?! configuring in db3 running /bin/sh ./configure --cache-file=.././config.cache --srcdir=. configure: error: cannot find sources in . mv: cannot stat `Makefile': No such file or directory cat: Makefile.orig: No such file or directory mv: cannot stat `db.h': No such file or directory cat: db.h.orig: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `listobjs'. Stop. configure: error: ./configure failed for db3
rpm-4.0.4 is end of life already, no change to rebuild with external db is anticipated.
