Here's a simple bug to solve leading to compile failure:

configure finds gdbm.h and compiles the test program fine
but forgets to add the path (/usr/pkg/lib) to the Makefile

compilation fails with this message:

The Short Desc.: should be read as:

-lgdbm link failure because configure does not add
-L/usr/pkg/lib

Sorry about the typo.

I just checked ext/db/config.m4 and there seems to be no
AC_ADD_LIBPATH(), can this be the reason ?

I had another report that it does not work either with
dynamic module under NetBSD 1.4.2:

bash-2.03# apachectl restart
/usr/pkg/sbin/apachectl restart: httpd not running, trying
to start
/usr/libexec/ld.so: Undefined symbol "_gdbm_version" in
httpd:/usr/pkg/lib/httpd/libphp4.so

BTW, why is db support (through gdbm, ndbm, etc.) mandatory ?

Bug solved if I configure it this way:

./configure --with-gdbm=/usr/pkg

it compiles and runs fine.

I think there's a bug in ext/db/config.m4 because I can't
know _before_ compiling what dbm is going to be preferred.

When finding gdbm, on NetBSD at least, /usr/pkg/lib should
be added.

AC_ADD_LIBPATH missing statement ?

Fixed in CVS.
