Summary: dbm build fails

Initial Comment:
Trying a build with cvs source downloaded this morning.
I've been sure to do the configure --with-suffix=_ on
case-insensitive Mac OS X (10.1), but I'm having some
problem with the 'dbm' module.

Here's a copy of the messages:

Any suggestions? Anything I can change in my settings
to get past this?

Note that the problem is with gdbm, not with dbm. Dbm seems to build fine (with a warning).

I've heard a report of this before. Needless to say, for me there is no problem whatsoever:-)

I think that the problem is that setup.py detects files that indicate to it that dbm is available while in
fact it is not. Could you check whether you have a libgdbm.a and/or a gdbm.h on your system somewhere?
