Don't worry... you didn't installed the BerkeleyDB incorrectly, Cyrus just
doesn't know the default path to BerkeleyDB 3.x.
One quick way to compile Cyrus with BerkeleyDB 3 is to simply copy the libs
and include files to where you untarred Cyrus. On my system (FreeBSD
4.2/BerkeleyDB 3.1) I did this (while in the cyrus-imapd-2.0.11 directory
after untarring):
cp /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1/lib/* ./lib
cp /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1/include/* ./include
After that you should be able to compile and install without any trouble.
