 What is your problem with have_library ?

pigeon% cat extconf.rb 
require 'mkmf'
dir_config("db")

puts "ok" if have_library("db", "dbopen")
pigeon%
 
pigeon% ruby extconf.rb
checking for dbopen() in -ldb... no
pigeon% 

pigeon% ruby extconf.rb --with-db-dir=/home/ts/local/db185
checking for dbopen() in -ldb... yes
ok
pigeon% 

pigeon% ls /home/ts/local/db185/lib
libdb.a
pigeon%
