1. get bdb 4.7

Direct link; if it doesn't work use the index page:
http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.7.25.tar.gz

Index page:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/db/index.html

2. unpack into /usr/local/src (or wherever)

Build docs are at

file:///usr/local/src/db-4.7.25/docs/ref/build_unix/intro.html

(or wherever you put it)

3. cd to db-4.7.25/build_unix

4. use the following command line to configure, where $ is the shell prompt

$ CFLAGS="-arch x86_64" LDFLAGS="-arch x86_64" ../dist/configure


Then proceed normally (e.g., make, then sudo make install).
