Mark,

Your message got lost in the masses today.  You need to make sure your
build can find the gdbm.h file.  Here's a url with the detail
instructions:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpse/ldm/3185

Another detail, it seem that if one uses a new version of the gdbm, it
doesn't work correctly. So use version gdbm-1.7.3
