You can indicate to the system where those header files are with the
optional parameters "-I/usr/include/db1".  Most likely, you'll also need
to point to the system where to find the corresponding library files too.  
I'll have to take a guess and say that it's "-L/usr/lib/db1".

Search through Modules/Setup to:

###
dbm dbmmodule.c 	# dbm(3) may require -lndbm or similar
###

and add those '-I' and '-L' options in there.  I'll also follow their
recommendation, and add the '-lndbm' in there too.

###
dbm dbmmodule -I/usr/include/db1 -L/usr/lib/db1 -lndbm
###

Hopefully, doing a 'make' and 'make install' should be painless then.



Analogously, when I added gdbm support to my Python installation, I
changed my gdbm line to:

###
gdbm gdbmmodule.c -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lgdbm
###


I hope this helps!
