Another option: update src/Configure (in the apache distribution) to give a better hint for darwin platform, something like:

DBM_LIB="-lSystem"

Nope, that didn't work:

I also tried DBM_LIB="lnbdm", just for good measure, but that didn't work either:

One workaround would probably be to make a symlink:

 % cd /usr/lib
 % ln -s libSystem.dylib libdbm.dylib

Well I'll be damned. That did the trick! Hrm, I wonder why... Not a very elegant solution, unfortunately. I wonder if there's another way to get it to work...

YES! I found it! In src/Configure, I did DBM_LIB="", and that did the trick -- gcc just finds it in libSystem, and doesn't bother trying to find libdbm or anything. Yay! Here's a diff for it that should work without affecting other platforms:

Note that I'm assuming that it's the same on Mac OS X Server. I think I'll send this patch off to the Apache project, too.

Thanks for the help, Ken -- your pointing me to src/Configure cinched it for me.

David
