Try installing libdb2-dev (though I don't know if that's in potato).
Usually when you are having trouble compiling something because of a
missing library, you can be sure that the package that you need to
install begins with "lib" and ends with "-dev". I don't know how a
new user would know about the "db2" part. You know that you need
"db", so you do a search for libdb in apt-cache, I guess. It's a
shame that apt-cache doesn't do regex searches.
Incidentally, libdb1 depends on libc5, so you probably don't want it.
If libdb2-dev isn't in potato, you might just need libc6-dev.
Cheers,
Chris
