In Makefile-Default I uncommented DB_LOCKS_ITSELF=yes, in
Makefile-Linux I put DBMLIB=-lgdbm. On my Linux box, also with libgdbm
1.7.3, this works OK. But make sure that ndbm.h (in /usr/include here)
is the one that comes with the libgdbm package. There are at least
three versions around. The GNU one I found in the source,
libgdbm-1.7.3.tar.gz I think. But if ndbm.h is indeed the problem I can
mail it.
