You can use gdbm.
I don't have a Redhat system (I use Mandrake). I recently changed the
configure script to look for either db or gdbm. So where are the headers
stored on your system for the database package you've installed? Which
database package have you installed that includes "dbm_open()" ??
The library search is for -lndbm, -ldbm, -ldb1, and finally -lgdbm.
The header search is <db1/ndbm.h>, <gdbm/ndbm.h>.
all i see in configure.in (i'm talking about 1.1RC2) is:
dnl --------------
dnl CHECK FOR NDBM
dnl --------------
dnl Checks for ndbm
AC_CHECK_FUNC(dbm_open, ,
AC_CHECK_LIB(ndbm, dbm_open, ,
AC_CHECK_LIB(dbm, dbm_open)))
dnl ----------------
dnl CHECK FOR NDBM.H
dnl ----------------
AC_CHECK_HEADERS(db1/ndbm.h)
should there be more?
our redhat 9 systems seem to rely on libgdbm, and /usr/include/gdbm.h
and /usr/include/gdbm/ndbm.h.
Can you send me 'config.log' from your system?
sure -- i'll send it under separate cover.

in trying to build either 1.1RC2 or 1.04 on a redhat 9 system, i'm
getting references to missing ndbm headers and libs.
