Normally the compile will look for db.h in /usr/include/. On some systems
(SUSE and Mandrake I believe) it is kept somewhere else (eg.
/usr/include/db1/) and therefore the compiler can't find it. There are
two ways of fixing it if this is the case:
1. Symlink from /usr/include/db.h to whereever your db.h resides.
2. Add a CFLAGS line to Local/Makefile like:
CFLAGS = -I/usr/include/db1
The directory should be the directory in which db.h is found.
See the thread on this mailing list "compiler error" which is talking
a bit about this issue.
