RE: 3.1.11 compile error

["Nerijus" <nerijus@sat.lt>]

I have these rpm's on RedHat installed:
gdbm-1.7.3-18
gdbm-devel-1.7.3-18
but still no gdbm-ndbm.h or ndbm.h file.
So I downloaded ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdbm/gdbm-1.7.3.tar.gz
and put only ndbm.h from this package in /usr/include. Then everything
compiled ok.
