Yes, Andrew is doomed. :-) I've commited the patch.

Neil, are you sure it's a good idea to assign this to
Andrew? I've noticed that he's collected quite a backlog of
bugs & patches. Maybe he needs some relief?

Just to clarify: I _had_ no patch of my own. I tested Neil's
patch, assigned the bug to Neil and was waiting for him to
respond to AMK's questions. Miscommunication somewhere ?

Attached is a patch that fixes things for me. It's pretty
simple so it could probably get into 2.2 yet. I don't know
what happened to Thomas's patch. :-(

No, I didn't include it in 2.1.1 because I decided I'd
rather keep it broken on Debian than possibly break it on
an unknown number of other systems, for a bugfix-release.
I see no problem with breaking an unknown number of
systems in 2.2aX though :-)

Have you fixed this one in 2.1.1 Thomas?

What does the patch look like? You can probably go ahead
and check it in.
I'd be leery of removing the 'not in "cygwin"' check; ask
Jason Tishler if it's still needed, since he's the Cygwin
guru.

db1/ndbm.h from libc6_2.2.2-1 still includes db.h instead
of db1/db.h. I think I understand the reason now. If you
want to use db1 or gdbm as a dbm compatible database you
have to link with the approprate library. Therefore,
if you should add both -ldb1 and -Idb1.
I've created a patch to setup.py which does this. Andrew?
BTW, I'm not sure if the "if platform not in ['cygwin']"
is needed anymore. I bet it could be removed.

Python is looking for gdbm/ndbm.h. I could add more logic
to look for gdbm-ndbm.h but I don't think its worth it.
libc6 includes db1 which can be used by dbmmodule.
configure is not finding db1/ndbm.h because ndbm.h includes
db.h. I think it should include db1/db.h instead. So, it
looks like a Debian unstable bug. I'm downloading Debian
libc6_2.2.2-1 right now. Perhaps the bug has been fixed.
