BDB 4.0.14 static?

I've always compiled subversion with shared dynamic linking turned on.

I'm working on trying to compile svnadmin statically for the first time 
and it keeps saying:
...  -ldb-4.0 -lexpat /usr/local/apache2/lib/libapr-0.la -lm -lcrypt -lnsl  
-ldl
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldb
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Which is kind of strange because the compile says "-ldb-4.0" which exists 
in the /usr/lib/libdb-4.0.a library.

The ./configure script has this to say:
checking for Berkeley DB in /usr/include and /usr/lib (as db4)... no
checking for Berkeley DB in /usr/include and /usr/lib (as db)... yes

I thought I remembered an email thread about this but I've not been able 
to find the thread so far (but I'm still looking).

Can anyone give me a clue?  I've tried several variations on the 
./configure command line to try to force it but no luck so far.  Of course
everything works great when compiled shared/dynamically.

   Thanks!

Ha!  Why is it you *always* find the answer *after* posting to the list?

The answer is: ./configure --without-berkeley-db
but it goes ahead and compiles svnadmin statically fine!  :-)

Hopefully in a few minutes I'll have a new RPM that saves the old static 
svnadmin when the RPM is erased or upgraded so you can still dump/load 
your old repositories *AFTER* upgrading to a new version of the RPM.
