      <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>
