Hi, I have been trying to compile courier-imap on my Suse 9.3 Professional
system but it just won't work. (I ran the YOU today for updating the system to
the latest possible stage)

The gdb seems to be installed correctly under: /usr/include/dbm.h /usr/include/gdbm.h /usr/include/ndbm.h

/usr/lib/libgdbm.a /usr/lib/libgdbm.la /usr/lib/libgdbm.so /usr/lib/libgdbm_compat.a /usr/lib/libgdbm_compat.la /usr/lib/libgdbm_compat.so /usr/lib/libndbm.a /usr/lib/libndbm.so /usr/share/info/gdbm.info.gz /usr/share/man/man3/gdbm.3.gz

ldconfig -p | grep gdbm results in the following output: libgdbm_compat.so.3 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libgdbm_compat.so.3 libgdbm_compat.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libgdbm_compat.so libgdbm.so.3 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.3 libgdbm.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libgdbm.so

When I run ./configure --with-db=gdbm I get the following:

loading cache ./config.cache checking for gcc... (cached) gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc -L /usr/lib) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc -L /usr/lib) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C...

(cached) no checking for gdbm_open... (cached) no configure: error: Cannot find either the gdbm or the db library.

I have searched for solutions on the web and tried everything I could find,
like: CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/include" LDFLAGS="-L /usr/lib" export CPPFLAGS export LDFLAGS

before running the ./config --with-db=gdbm command (executed as non root user) I
tried to run ./configure without adding any options. It runs through without
errors but then the "make" command fails. (The source files are unpacked into a subdirectory of the home-directory of a
non priviledged user from where I excecute the ./configure command.)

Can anyone please help me configure and compile courier-imap? Thanks in advance
