The same is true on our Ultrix 3.0 (mv3600). If you have root access, you might
want to place it in the libc.a directory or create a local lib. Maybe you might
want to convert the libdbm.a from a ".o" to a ".a" and run ranlib.

#cd /usr/lib
#mv libdbm.a dbm.o
#ar cr libdbm.a dbm.o
#ranlib libdbm

Make sure that the new libdbm.a is readable by everyone (chmod 644 libdbm.a).
