[comp.unix.questions] How can I get dbm on my 386/ix

joe@bram.UUCP (Joe Saladino) (11/03/90)

I don't seem to have dbm on my system.  Several software packages like smail
need it for path lookup.  Does anyone have a PD version that will work on a
386/ix?  I would appraciate any help I can get.

Thanks,

You can pull dbz out of C-news.  It's a pretty limited version of dbm,
but it's faster and smaller, and might be enough for your needs. 
Alternatively, there is a GNU version of dbm (or will be...?) but, of
course, FSF stuff isn't PD.

anyway, i use GNU dbm-1.4 with smail-3.1.18 under isc 2.2. works.
