Compiling Berkeley db for Ruby under Cygwin


Even as a Linux user, I probably stay as confused about compiling
under cygwin as some windows users. I cannot figure out just
where the linker is looking to find cygwin-ruby16.  The only
cygwin-ruby16 on my Win2k machine is D:\ruby\bin\cygwin-16.dll. 
I installed Ruby1.6.5 from the executable installer into
D:\ruby.  I also have cygwin installed in D:\cygwin. I have tried
several variations of the --with-db-* options and have moved
shortcuts of cygwin-16.dll to several different directories.  But
I still cannot get past the following error.  I would appreciate
any tips.  Thanks ahead for your help.
