DBM on Mac OS X

Hi All,

I've been using mod_ssl with Apache 1.3.x on Mac OS X for a while now,
and it works great. I've had to use gdbm to get it to compile, but that
was okay with me.

Now, however, I'm writing an article about this, and want to try to
eliminate the gdbm dependency in the name of simplicity. I know it can
be done, because Apple includes mod_ssl with their Apache. Furthermore,
they tell me that libdm is in the Mac OS X system library, libSystem.
But configure has never been able to find it. -lm and -dbm both fail.

So I tried --enable-rule=SSL_SDBM, and that got Apache/mod_ssl to
compile nicely. Yay! But then, when I tried to connect to the SSL port,
Apache segfaulted!

[Fri Nov 15 12:29:03 2002] [notice] child pid 26629 exit signal
Segmentation fault (11)

So I'm stuck and could use some help. Does anyone know how to a) get
Apache's configure to find libdbm in libSystem and use it? Or b) have
any idea why Apache/mod_ssl might be segfaulting when using SDBM?

TIA!

David
