I have a number of observations and corrections to make:
1. The default installation of Sleepycat Berkeley DB does *not* install
the files to /usr/local, but to /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.x.y. You have
to request /usr/local explicitly, and you should not do so, unless
you know what you are doing.
2. If Sleepycat is in /usr/local, Zooko's problem was *not* that
setup.py would not find it there. Instead, the problem was that
ld-linux.so.1 would not look for shared libraries in /usr/local.
3. Zooko's problem also was *not* related to /usr
