Celia,

Here's some more information on making GDBM work.

I also encountered some difficulty with GDBM.  Here's the steps I took to
make it work on solaris 5.6 using csh.

I used the gdbm-1.7.3.tar.gz distribution from ftp ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdbm

% setenv GDBMLIB -lgdbm

-made sure the libgdbm.a was in the path of the  LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable

-made sure the gdbm.h was in the path of CPPFLAGS, with the -I option, ie

% setenv CPPFLAGS -I/local/gnu/gdbm-1.7.3

rm config.cache   config.log     config.status
  
% ./configure

% make install

% sudo make install_setuids
