CentOS - Jan 2006 - dsniff berkley database issues

Hi All,

as a CCNA student and wishing to eventualy do CCSP, I wanted to learn 
all about what hackers use/do to infiltrate networks, and was introduced 
to dsniff at a Linux meeting, TLUG, in Tokyo, but, am having problems 
installing it. Please see below.

checking for Berkeley DB with 1.85 compatibility... 
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4
configure: error: db_185.h or libdb.a not found in 
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4 or not configured with --enable-compat185
[root at localhost <mailto:root at localhost> dsniff-2.3]# ./configure 
--enable-compat185 --with-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4

I have installed the latest BDB, and have, as you can see, added the 
correct arguments for ./configure. Anyone know a workaround for this?

I also tried via yum, but, nothing.

First thing I'd do is search the mailing list for "repositories"
and
look into adding additional ones such as Dag's AT's and the dev repo on
centos.org.
