OK here is now what I am trying:

tar xvf rpm-4.14.0.tar.bz2
cd rpm-4.14.0
tar ../db-6.0.20.tar.gz
ln -s db-6.0.20 db
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-crypto=openssl --without-external-db 
--without-archive
make

the configure seems to go ok

If get the following from the make
relocation R_X86_64_32 against 'rodata' can not be used when making a 
shared object; recompile with -fPIC ../db3/.libs/libdb-6.0.a(mut_tas.o): 
error adding symbols: Bad value

I have no idea what this is or how to fix it.

I will try with a different version db

Thanks for any insite
