Hello all. I just switched all of my files over to a new server (new 
installation of FreeBSD 4.5) and installed PHP 4.1.2 on Apache 
1.3.23. Many of my sites use DBM files. In the past I never had to 
specify to install GDBM support with the configure command, it was 
just there. Now, apparently, it's not there by default. So I'm trying 
to put it in. I'm added "--with-gdbm" to the configure line, but I 
still get the following error:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: dbmopen()

What's going on here? Is there something special that one has to do 
to get DBM support in PHP? The documentation doesn't seem to have any 
explanation of this. Is there somewhere in the documentation that 
explains each of the configure options in detail?

The whole DBM/BerkDB support is a bit confusing anyway. There is 
"--with-gdbm", "--with-ndbm", "--with-db3", and "--with-dbm". I know 
what the first three are, but my question is, what is "--with-dbm" 
for, if not for one of the specific implelentations of DBM? I don't 
know of just "DBM". I know of Berkeley DB, GDBM, NDBM, "ODBM", and 
"SDBM", but I've never come across an implementation called just 
"DBM"? What's up?

Cheers.
