I download the tar/gzip archive and complied BDB and it compiled
sucessfully.

(It ended with

creating db_verify
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=execute true db_verify

so I am assuming it was successful)

But when I try and compile KDevelop 3.0a5, it says

checking for Berkeley DB >= 3... configure: error: no - please install
Berkeley DB >= 3

The BDB version was 4.1.25 from the sleepycat site.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Varun

What platform are you using? If Linux, you must add the berkeley DB

I'm not sure, but this looks like you didn't actually install the
library yet --- you're lacking the concluding "make install" run.

Given the default location Berkeley DB installs itself to, and which
is not on the default system-wide library search path, you'll have to
inform your applications where to look for the library. If you're
going to use a dynamic library, you'll have to tell the runtime linker
about that place too.

For details of how to do that, check the INSTALL document of the
application, and the output of "./configure --help".
