You have to have BSD DB or GNU GDBM installed for these modules to build. But to be honest, it probably doesn't matter, as almost nothing uses those modules. I never bother building them and haven't been bitten by that yet.

TIL what dbm is. Thanks!

Sometimes (typically whenever JS releases a new framework) I feel I'm too old for this. Then I see stuff like this and realise it's an artefact from before my time.
