[issue15044] _dbm not building on Fedora 17

[Ross Lagerwall]

Ross Lagerwall <rosslagerwall at gmail.com> added the comment:

The gdbm provided with Fedora 17 provides /usr/include/ndbm.h.

This makes setup.py think that it should try link with -lndbm when it actually requires -lgdbm_compat.

A workaround is to specify --with-dbmliborder=gdbm to force gdbm to be used.

I'll try and make a patch for this.
