Did you specify explicitly that you want bsddb, or did you
use a precompiled binary? In the latter case, BerkeleyDB
was probably installed and found when building the binary,
and it is now missing in your installation.

If you build your Stackless yourself, it will  detect that you have  
no BerkeleyDB
installed, and use the proper implementation.

Alternatively, just install the appropriate package.
I di not try, but for instance on a Debian system, you might
use
aptitude install libdb4.5-dev
as root user.
