Bugzilla Bug 32235

emerge says:
[snip]

You need Berkeley DB2 or DB3 to compile libtabe.
Please use --with-db-lib to configure.

even though the ebuild correctly sets with-db-inc, with-db-lib, and with-db-bin.
This does not seem to be a problem with the ebuild, as the same problem occurs
if we run ./configure from the tarball manually. Removing excess ./configure
options (ie, everything but the with-db-* options) doesn't help. DB3 is
definitely installed (libtabe DEPENDs on it, and it was emerge'd directly before
libtabe). For what it's worth, my system seems to have several versions of DB
installed (db-1.85-r1, db-3.2.8-910, db-4.0.14-r2, and db-4.1.25_p1-r2), but
from what I understand, they are designed to not interfere with each other.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge libtabe
Actual Results:  
The configure portion fails with the message described above.

Expected Results:  
Correctly emerge'd libtabe

The two versions of db3 I have checked sys-libs/db-3.2.9-r7 and
sys-libs/db-3.2.9-r10
install libdb3 as libdb-3.so . The libtabe configure script only checks for
-ldb and -ldb3. To fix this add this line as the first thing in src_compile():

sed -i -e "s:db3:db3 db-3:" configure
