gdbm? Don't do this, especially not for mod_rewrite. gdbm's NDBM emulation is
far from complete and working as experiences of the users showed. You _have_
to use a NDBM-compliant library for mod_rewrite _and_ all other modules.

Aborts? 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 should correctly _FALLBACK_ to the built-in SDBM. And
even mod_rewrite falls back to not using DBM at all when it couldn't be found.
So, I'm a little bit confused what part aborts here.

Sure, adding -lgdbm doesn't change anything because only libc, libdbm
and libndbm are checked.

Please give me the following information in order to trace it down:
1. The exact APACI configure command line you used
2. The output of this configure command from your terminal session
3. The output of a "ls -l /usr/lib/ /usr/local/lib" on your system.
Then I can investigate further.
