sudo apt-get install libdb4.6-dev should do it for map caching.

One thing to watch when using the Wiki, which was written for Ubuntu
6.10 and 7.04.  Those versions both used libdb4.4-dev.  Ubuntu 7.10 I
believe used libdb4.5, and now Ubuntu 8.04 uses libdb4.6-dev.  That's
what I tripped on recently when I built the new Xastir pre-built
virtual machine in Xubuntu 8.04.  I didn't catch that 8.04 had moved
up to version 4.6 on the Berkeley DB libraries, so I grabbed
libdb4.5-dev instead of libdb4.6-dev.
