The Redhat 7.0 CD's do not have libdb 1.85 headers, I don't believe.  If
you need to find them on the web, try going to http://rpmfind.net.  You
may also be able to hack something like linking /usr/lib/libdb1.a to
/usr/lib/libdb.a and installing db2-devel from the redhat 7.0 cd.  That
will create /usr/include/db.h.  However, my suggestion is to use Redhat
6.2.
