Are you sure ./configure is finding your new db3 and not some old one?
You may need to run ldconfig, optionally updating /etc/ld.conf to let
the linker know about the new db3.  Better would be to see if evolutions
Configure allows you to do something like: 
./configure --with-db3=/some/path

(if you've tried either of the above, it wasn't clear from your message)
