Note that there is a ABI breakage between db-5.1.19 -> db-5.1.25. You
might want to start using db-5.1.25 to avoid later pain.
\
ABI breakage == you MUST recompile everything linked against
db-5.1.19 in order to move to db-5.1.25 or you WILL segfault.

Yes. There are two places (iirc) that
#include <db51/db.h>
are hard wired.
Create a symlink on some include path to where ever you built Berkeley DB
is one easy way to avoid.
The other is to patch rpm (grep "db51" */*.[ch])
to do something else instead.
Yet another is to untar db-5.1.X into the top level directory, do
mv db-5.1.x db
and build --with-db=internal (there's also --with-dbsql=internal needed).

The hard wired path isn't likely to be changed because its hugely
complicated to test all possible ways of installing Berkeley DB.
