I've tried the CVS version

% locate 'ndbm.*'
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk/usr/include/ndbm.h
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/include/ndbm.h
/usr/include/ndbm.h
% ./configure --with-ndbm=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/ 
--with-ndbmheader=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/include/
checking for dbm in /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/include/ and 
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/... no
configure: error: could not find a working ndbm library/header combination

% port install gdbm
% find /opt/local -name '*dbm.[a|h]'
/opt/local/include/gdbm.h
/opt/local/lib/libgdbm.a
./configure --with-ndbm=/opt/local/lib --with-ndbmheader=/opt/local/include
checking for dbm in /opt/local/include and /opt/local/lib... no
configure: error: could not find a working ndbm library/header combination

Do I need a special version of gdbm?

Many thanks
