Will not find a usable gdbm even though that one is installed in the /sw
tree pointed to by --prefix. When looking at the configur.in script I also
noted that it is not possible to specify an explicit location of gdbm
using the form --with-gdbm=/sw. To be able to build mutt with gdbm i did
the following "hack" in configure.in. Can someone that knows the semantics
and syntax of configure.in please do better solution?
