Hmmm... Works on my Mandrake 8.1 system. I have the db2-devel-2.4.14-5mdk
package installed, which provides /usr/lib/libndbm.{a,so}.
Note that you probably don't want to use /usr/include/db1/ndbm.h because you
will wind up using is the broken Berkeley DB 1.85 hash file implementation.
One of the two major goals of the change I checked in recently was to
deprecate BerkeleyDB 1.85. Do you not have an ndbm or gdbm implementation
on your system?
If you don't have an acceptable set of libraries/include files it shouldn't
try building the module at all. It looks like the else: branch
else:
exts.append( Extension('dbm', ['dbmmodule.c']) )
should probably be removed.
I'll take another look at the problem again Wednesday. I am offline at the
moment and can't "cvs up" (the modem here at the North Beach Inn shares a
phone line with the credit card machine and it's the dinner hour... :-)
