I've tried your suggestion, and it does not seem to work.
First, libndbm.a is in /usr/lib, not an especially obscure place.
When I ran "file /usr/lib/*dbm*" and "ls -ls /usr/lib/*dbm*" this was the
output:
- - -
/usr/lib/libdbm.1: s800 shared library -not stripped
/usr/lib/libdbm.a: archive file -s800 relocatable library
/usr/lib/libdbm.sl: s800 shared library -not stripped

But I tried what you suggested anyway, running this script:
- - -
#!/usr/bin/csh
# build apache 1.3 the way I like it
# /usr/local/apache exists but is not a production directory
# use this for early tests of this install approach
setenv OPTIM "+O2"
setenv CC "cc"
setenv LIBS "-L/usr/lib -lndbm"
/usr/bin/sh ./configure --verbose \

I didn't bother to try the make again...
(This is just speculation, but it it possible the test for the library is
detecting some unrelated warning or error:
One warning that comes to mind is the message:
"/usr/ccs/bin/ld: (Warning) At least one PA 2.0 object file (alias.o) was
detected. The linked output may not run on a PA 1.x system."
I've seen this show up in various builds on HP/UX 10.20, though not I
think, the last build I did of apache 1.2.6. It doesn't affect the
usability of the results.)
It seems like I need to "get under the hood" to see how the test is
failing, in more detail.
