[GRASS5] ./configure --with-dbm on Debain/Testing

[Hamish]

Hi,

Debian has recently changed around their GNU DBM packages a bit; the
libgdbm-dev package now provides dmb.h.

'./configure --with-dbm'  gives the following error:

checking whether to use DBM... yes
checking for location of DBM includes... 
checking for dbm.h... yes
checking for location of DBM library... 
checking for dbminit in -ldbm... no
checking for dbminit in -lgdbm... no
checking for dbminit in -lndbm... no
configure: error: *** Unable to locate DBM library.

includes:
$ locate dbm.h
/usr/include/gdbm-ndbm.h
/usr/include/gdbm.h
/usr/include/dbm.h

libraries:
$ locate libgdbm.a
/usr/lib/libgdbm.a

$ locate libgdbm.so
/usr/lib/libgdbm.so.1.7.3
/usr/lib/libgdbm.so.1
/usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2
/usr/lib/libgdbm.so.3.0.0
/usr/lib/libgdbm.so.3
/usr/lib/libgdbm.so


http://bugs.debian.org/libgdbm-dev reports a ndbm compatability bug, if
that might have anything to do with it.

any ideas?

thanks,
Hamish
