If you have root access, you might want to place it in the libc.a directory or create a local lib. Maybe you might want to convert the libdbm.a from a ".o" to a ".a" and run ranlib. #cd /usr/lib #mv libdbm.a dbm.o #ar cr libdbm.a dbm.o #ranlib libdbm Make sure that the new libdbm.a is readable by everyone (chmod 644 libdbm.a).
