[comp.windows.x] What is the dbm library?

larryc@puente.jpl.nasa.gov (Larry Carroll) (03/02/91)

Building X11R4 on a DECstation 3100 under Ultrix 4.0.  Everything going well,
now that I've made the patches submitted by Richard Signell of the US Geo
Survey & the renaming of include file machine/dc7085cons.h to
io/tc/dc7085reg.h -- except that a few linking attempts failed because 
it couldn't find the dbm library.

I did a "find / -name \*dbm\* -print" but didnt't find libdbm.a or any
similar file.  What is this library, & where is it normally?  Other than
using the -ik flags on make to keep the entire make from failing, any 
suggestions about what to do?
