The GDBM library must be available on your system as a shared object library. For Linux systems, this is normally the case. For other systems, it may need to be built and installed. To make this task as simple as possible, we provide a fix for the standard gdbm distribution: its purpose is to automate the creation of the shared object library.
Both the standard gdbm distribution and our fix can be downloaded from our ftp server:
They both unpack into the same directory (namely gdbm-1.7.3
). You should unpack the standard distribution first, then our fix since it overwrites certain files.
tar zxf gdbm-1.7.3.tar.gz
tar zxf gdbm-1.7.3-fix.tar.gz
cd gdbm-1.7.3
./configure
make
make install
We also make available the following targets: install.so
, install.h
, install.man
, install.info
.
If you install in a non-standard directory, you may have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
appropriately so that libgdbm.so
may be found.
