For Debian +users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev. +DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which +is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley +database routines. Often this is in the db-devel package. + +2. make + +The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which +contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available +on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX. + +3. include/uapi + +This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because +the build environment may not have up to date versions.
