The reason seems to be that your libndbm.a cannot be found. Perhaps it is
under a non-standard directory, so your linker is unable to find it. Try to
use
setenv LIBS "-L/path/to/your/libs -lndbm"
after finding out what /path/to/your/libs is. Perhaps something like
/usr/local/lib or such a non-standard dir. In any case first make sure libndbm
really exists on your system and determine where it stays. Then use these
conrete informations in LIBS.
