This seems totally silly. The folks at CMU have indicated they are
using Solaris 7. In my experience, there is often little or no
difference compiling Solaris x86 compared to SPARC. If anything it
sounds like more porting may be required with {Free,Open}BSD.

Strange? That's where Sleepycat by default puts it. In the past
I'd sometimes force it under /usr/local/{bin,lib} with other apps.
However, since there can be an incompatibility between Berkeley DB
releases, I've gone back to just letting it drop into
/usr/local/Berkeley.X.

Generally using the configure options might be better. Depending on
the platform, setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH can actually introduce other
problems, or at the least slow down the loading of shared libs.
