 Can you give a complete example for this (configuration, OS, ...)

 I use to test bdb this script

pigeon% cat a.sh
#!/bin/sh
for dir in `ls -d /home/ts/local/db[234]*`
do
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${dir}/lib
    ruby extconf.rb --with-db-prefix=$dir --with-db-version=
    make unknown
    echo
    echo -n "Waiting ... "
    read
    make test 2>&1 | more
    make distclean
done
pigeon% 

 It has always worked.
