(repost from comp.lang.perl.misc)
I believe I am having some locking problems with DB_File on a BSDI 2.1
system (and probably others using DB_File). I would like to test
with GDBM_File, which has integral locking, but can't get Perl to
build with it.
I built the library OK, though the test programs ('make progs') would
not all compile, and a quick test with 'testgdbm' appears to work.
But when I build the library into Perl (both 5.003_00 and 5.003_26)
the lib/gdbm test fails on test 5 (and 6 and 7, when run manually
from the test directory). All other tests pass.
Searches for 'bsd gdbm' on DejaNews and perusal of the appropriate
FAQs/docs appear to offer nothing. If anyone has done this successfully,
I would appreciate some help.
