checking for audio/audiolib.h... yes

checking for dbm_open in -lgdbm... no
Error: Required GNU DBM support cannot be provided.


Also it fails to detect ncurses correctly as it seems. I have sys-libs/ncurses-5.4-r5 installed, so it should.

Confirmed - libgdbm.so.3 does not contain dbm_open anymore.

libgdbm_compat could offer a possible solution, but I don't see yet how to apply this to xemacs.

Patch for xemacs ebuilds to address -lgdbm configure error.

Run configure with LIBS="-lgdbm -lgdbm_compat" fixes problem.

Comment 4 Roland Tapken 2005-03-23 11:26:43 UTC 
This bug is also in xemacs-gtk. Patching .ebuild-File to use LIBS="-lgdbm -lgdbm_compat" ./configure... does help.
