Package: gdbm-1.8.3-5
Compiling a simple program (taken from a ./configure script) like this: // ------ extern char dbm_open(); int main () { dbm_open(); return 0; } // ------ with "gcc test.c -lgdbm_compat" fails with several "undefined reference to ..gdbm.." errors. linking with gdbm_compat and gdbm does succeed. I think the main problem is that gdbm_compat should be linked to gdbm. $ ldd /usr/lib/libgdbm_compat.so linux-gate.so.1 => (0xa7f4d000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xa7dd3000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xa7f4e000) |

LINKING
This library is accessed by specifying -lgdbm as the last parameter to the compile line, e.g.:
gcc -o prog prog.c -lgdbm
If you wish to use the dbm or ndbm compatibility routines, you must link in the gdbm_compat library as well. For example:
gcc -o prog proc.c -lgdbm -lgdbm_compat
