You can install dbh with yum. Since we are talking about compiling,
Im pretty sure you'll need the -devel part. Installing a -devel 
package usually bring along the real package:
 ]$ yum install dbh-devel [enter]

The dbh package contain these files:
 ]$ rpm -ql dbh [enter]
- /usr/include/dbh.h
- /usr/include/dbh_config.h
- /usr/include/dbh_functions.h
- /usr/lib/libdbh-1.0.so.1
- /usr/lib/libdbh-1.0.so.1.0.0
as well as its own documentation in:
- /usr/share/doc/dbh-1.0.18/*

The dbh-devel package contain all these:
 ]$ rpm -ql dbh-devel [enter]
- /usr/include/dbh.h
- /usr/include/dbh_config.h
- /usr/include/dbh_functions.h 
- /usr/lib/libdbh.a
- /usr/lib/libdbh.la
- /usr/lib/libdbh.so
- /usr/lib/pkgconfig/dbh-1.0.pc
... and the documentation:
- /usr/share/doc/dbh-devel-1.0.18/*

Its one of those :-) I'd bet on /usr/lib/pkgconfig/dbh-1.0.pc first.
