I have installed Bitcoin Core following the official Github docs. (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-osx.md) I have the berkeley-db4 installed.

However, when I run this command ./bitcoin-cli -named createwallet wallet_name=alice descriptors=false passphrase=alice

I get this error:
```
error code: -4
error message:
Compiled without bdb support (required for legacy wallets)
```
Can someone help me understand what is being missed here?

Some notes:
- sqlite/descriptor wallets are recommended over bdb/legacy ones, so unless you have a reason to use bdb I would not recommend it
- To debug this we'll need the configure output config.log or steps to reproduce

it sounds like you ran ./configure --without-bdb
