In my first followup, I noted that even though it didn't find
ndbm.h, there was a line further down that might have indicated that it
did find something for it, hence my confusion.
The solution, then was to create a symbolic link:
ln -s /usr/include/db1/ndbm.h /usr/include/ndbm.h
I still wonder what it is about the (OS) installs that don't
always seem to create things where they need to be or make them available
properly, but I am learning more on the development side :-)
Now it's off to test the results. Thanks to Qpopper Support, ELUG
and Qpopper mailing list members who provided information publicly and
