https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=gdbm-ndbm.h&mode=exactfilename&suite=bionic&arch=any says gdbm-ndbm.h is from package libgdbm-compat-dev on 18.04. nmh's `MACHINES' may need updating. Have you considered re-building the existing Ubuntu package that you're using, after applying Ken's one-line patch? apt-get(1) has a `source' subcommand, and there's debuild(1) to do the building. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpdatingADeb -- Cheers, Ralph. -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
