Can't get my linux compile of Python to make gdbm or bsddb modules

[Zorba]

Linux newbie + first time building Python = no gdbm or bsdb modules
available after the compile. This despite my installing both the
Berkeley and GNU packages prior to rebuilding Python.

'make' gives the following errors:

As a novice I don't know why the import would fail. Tips on making it
work?
