After following the instructions I end up with the error:

…
configure: error: libdb_cxx headers missing, Bitcoin Core requires this library for wallet functionality (--disable-wallet to disable wallet functionality)

After running the command:

./configure --with-gui=no --without-bdb MAKE=gmake

If I instead run:

./contrib/install_db4.sh /usr/local/src/bitcoin-core
setenv BDB_PREFIX "/usr/local/src/bitcoin-core/db4"

./configure --with-gui=no --without-bdb MAKE=gmake BDB_LIBS="-L\${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" BDB_CFLAGS="-I\${BDB_PREFIX}/include"

It finishes without any errors.

This is after checking out the v.0.21.0 tag

The instructions are only valid for master. Though, we don't have instructions for 0.21.0 yet on how to build descriptor wallets.

Ah, right. Yeah everything works fine on master. Sorry for taking your time.
