Comment(by tinhkyaw@…):

 Hi Ryan,

 Thanks for looking into the issue.

 Now I remember running into similar issues before.  I think php5
 compilation script ignores the prefix argument passed in --with-db4= and
 just looks for everything under /usr/local.  Hence, my hacky solution was
 to make the following 2 symlinks in order for things to work:

    1. ln -s /opt/local/include/db46 /usr/local/include/db4.6

    2. ln -s /opt/local/lib/db46/* /usr/local/lib/

 I think the right thing to do is probably to track down fix the issue in
 the src for php5..
