GNU dbm is a set of database routines that use extendible hashing and works similar to the standard UNIX dbm routines. This is release 1.7.3 of GNU dbm. To compile gdbm: a) configure <config parameters like -prefix ... see INSTALL> b) make To compile the optional test and conversion programs: a) make progs To install the basic package: a) make install To install the optional dbm and ndbm compatibility headers: a) make install-compat (You might want to "make -n install" to make sure it will put things were you want them.)
