+Berkley DB 4.8 build guide
+==========================
+
+Kevacoin should work with modern Berkley DB but if your distributive requires legacy version,
+run following installation script (or watch the implementation details):
+
+``` bash
+./contrib/install_db4.sh `pwd`
+export BDB_PREFIX='/given/path/to/db4'
+./autogen.sh
+./configure BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include"
+make
+```
