The answer to your problem has been addressed in another post. When I 
last built cfengine 2 I added a /var/cfengine/include directory, and 
symlinked db.h in there. I then ran

./configure --with-berkeleydb=/var/cfengine

which meant that cf* would look in /var/cfengine/lib for the libdb 
files. This helped with the building of workstations because I preloaded 
  the /var/cfengine tree enough to generate the keys and get the config 
files after the first boot.
