Compiling Netatalk 2.0.3

I'm running YellowDog Linux 4 on a Blue&White G3 tower.
Previously I've installed netatalk as part of a system installation from
the CD .iso's without too much trouble.
I was wondering if someone might be able to point me in the right
direction regarding the ./configure process.
I first tried to install netatalk-2.0.2 which apparently installed OK
although the files appeared to be installed to a directory in
/usr/local/bin/ rather than the normal /etc/, however when I had edited
the relevant .conf and started the server I could access the shares. As
a result, I uninstalled netatalk-2.0.2 and installed netatalk-1.6.4 via
yum and after editing the .conf files and starting the server was able
able to access the shares without any problem - having opened the ports
in the firewall! (I forgot about that when I installed 2.0.2!) Anyway,
since I did that 2.0.3 has been released and I thought I'd try compiling
from source again.
So, I uploaded the netatalk-2.0.3.tar.gz file to the /usr/local/install
directory (where I keep all my master install archives).
Then I extracted the netatalk-2.0.3 directory using:
tar zxvf netatalk-2.0.3.tar.gz
Now when I configure netatalk should I be using the following command?
./configure --enable-redhat --with-bdb=[path]
or just plain
./configure (I think I must have used this when I installed 2.0.2)
How do I find out version of Berkeley DB I'm running and where it is
installed?
Is there any way I can find out how the YDL netatalk rpm has been
configured?
OpenSSL is installed but do I need TCP wrappers, PAM, OpenSLP and/or
iconv? And how would any of these affect the ./configure command?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
