[ description of mouse problems deleted - sorry, I can't help there ]

When compiling gdbm on 386 *nix systems with gcc, make sure to add
the '-fpcc-struct-return' flag. The DBM routines return an entire
structure not a pointer to a structure. This flag will make gcc
produce code compatable with the stock cc (and the libraries, etc).
