[Python-Dev] making dbmmodule still broken

[Guido van Rossum]

On my 2yo Mandrake 8.1 (?) system, when I do "make" in the latest CVS
tree, I always get an error from building dbmmodule.c:

[guido@odiug linux]$ make

*-s*)  CC='gcc' LDSHARED='gcc -shared' OPT='-DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes' ./python -E ../setup.py -q build;; \

There's an ndbm.h is in /usr/include/db1/ndbm.h

Skip, didn't you change something in this area recently?  I think it's
still busted. :-(
