Some hints:
1. You also need the header-files of Berkeley DB.
-> something like /usr/include/db.h or somewhere below that.

2. On my SuSE 8.1, after checking everything, passing -ldb wants to link 
against libdb-4.so; thus there had to be a link to libdb-4.1.so

3. On an Berkeley DB 4.1 freshly installed from sources with default prefix,
kdevelop needs:
./configure --with-extra-includes=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/include 
--with-extra-libs=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/lib
to find it.

P.S.: Switching this thread to KDevelop-devel at kdevelop.org, so maybe we can 
find a better way to check for Berkeley DB
