I am trying to install berkley db on Debian for use with posftix and 
cyrus and I am getting this error message when I try to install berkley

So after I enter in
"./configure --prefix=/usr/local/bdb"  I get the below text, this is 
after I downloaded the source from sleepycat


configure: error: Berkeley DB should not be built in the top-level or 
dist directories.

I have been trying to follow this documentation:

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO.html#BERKELEY-DB


I have also been looking at apt-cache but I am not sure which package 
needs to be installed


apt-cache search bdb |grep Berkeley
