<title>Other Installation Possibilities</title>
<para>There are instructions to build this package in the BLFS book if you
need to build the RPC server or additional language bindings. The
additional language bindings will require additional packages to be
installed. See <ulink url="&blfs-root;view/svn/server/databases.html#db"/>
for suggested installation instructions.</para>
<para>Also, GDBM <emphasis>could</emphasis> be used in place of Berkeley
DB to satisfy Man-DB. However, since Berkeley DB is considered a core part
of the LFS build, it will not be listed as a dependency for any package in
the BLFS book. Likewise, many hours go into testing LFS with Berkeley DB
installed, not with GDBM. If you fully understand the risks versus
benefits of using GDBM and wish to use it anyway, see the BLFS
instructions located at <ulink
url="&blfs-root;view/svn/general/gdbm.html"/></para>
