I am fully aware I can set appropriate environment variables before compiling (to set
extra inlcude/lib paths). This is not the point here.
The point is that gdbm.h is not there and the configure.in of the rlm_counter module
does not care. So the FreeRADIUS build system tries to compile the module, which fails
due to the missing gdbm.h include. I think this is bad behaviour. Nice behaviour would
be to say: "Not compiling rlm_counter (gdbm.h missing)".
So the configure.in should be fixed. I am currently testing the follwing fix, but
expecting it to fail (I am in no ways an autoconf expert.).

I am fully aware that it is only a flaw of the rlm_counter module. But including a
module for compiling with knowing compiling WILL fail is not good. So I thought you
might be interested
