except for the fact that apr-util can't seem to find it ;-)

did you try this?

so, here's the problem, do you have  /opt/local/lib/db46/ 
libdb-4.6.dylib ?

If you do have that file, is it the right architecture? (try `file / 
opt/local/lib/db46/libdb-4.6.dylib`)

apr-util's configure script is finding the db46 header file, but not  
the library.
