Berkeley DB is built from the build_unix directory. This should be in the
documentation for it. I think you go into that directory:

cd build_unix
../dist/configure --prefix=/usr/local/bdb -enable-shared --enable-compat185
make
make install

As for knowing which package to install using apt-get it depends on which
version of Berkeley DB you want. It probably would be easier to use
postfix package too.
