Dear colleague,

When I compile wine I got the following message:

Note (probably harmless): No library found for -ldbm 
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgdbm 
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status 
make[2]: *** [winetest.exe.so] Error 1 
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ignasi/wine-20020509/programs/winetest' 
make[1]: *** [winetest] Error 2 
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ignasi/wine-20020509/programs' 
make: *** [programs] Error 2

Compilation failed, aborting install.

I use Debian Potato 2.2, with the following programs:

gcc 2.95.2 2 
ld 2.9.5

wine-20020411 has compiled successfully on the same machine.

If you want or I missed some more info, please tell me.

Thanks a lot for all your effort.

All the very best,

Ignasi

I had same problem on wine-20020605, version 20020509 works fine. Compiling on 
Mandrake Linux 8.2 with all important updates done with MandrakeUpdate, gcc 
3.0.4, glibc 2.2.4, Xfree86 4.2, Kde3, Amd3 processor (1007.025 Mhz), 128MB RAM, 
all hardware working fine (Including openglide on nvidia card with nvidia 
drivers); had same problem with cvs winex.

you need to install the 'gdbm-devel' package, if it is on Mandrake.

Also please try again with a newer WINE version, it probably is fixed.

I never tried, on Mandrake 9 it all works perfectly.
