This is what I did. I got the .so and put it under

c:\langs\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.6\i586-mswin32
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(Ruby installation folder)

(where the other .so s are)

Next, I unpacked the RAA package bdb-0.3.3.tar.gz into my temp folder 
and executed

C:\TEMP\bdb-0.3.3>extconf.rb
C:\TEMP\bdb-0.3.3\extconf.rb: Entering directory `src'
checking for db_version() in -ldb-4... no
checking for db_version() in -ldb4... no

        from extconf.rb:31
no
C:\TEMP\bdb-0.3.3\extconf.rb: Leaving directory `src'

What am I doing wrong?
