Hello all,
I found the solution to the Linux compile problems that I posted
yesterday in the comp.protocols.kerberos archives. Tom Yu explains,

Could you tell me if whether dbm_clearerr is a macro or a prototype in
ndbm.h? Also, does it even exist at all? Does libc.a contain
dbm_clearerr? Is there a separate libdbm.a or libndbm.a? Do you have
gdbm installed?
I suspect the chain of events is as follows:
* finds ndbm.h, sets dbval=ndbm
* finds dbm_nextkey in someting other than libc
* tries to grep for dbm_clearerr, etc. in ndbm.h
* fails to find it
* tries to link with ref to dbm_clearerr(), etc.
* fails because it's not in libc and we didn't set LIBS
properly before the test
* thinks the prototype isn't missing anyway
This may or may not be a problem with other BSDish systems. I think
this patch to aclocal.m4 may solve the problems:
