I am seeking help with a, probably simple, error when I try to compile
sendmail 8.8.5.
My screen output from the makesendmail script is:

The offending lines appears to be:

#ifdef NDBMM
# include <ndbm.h>>
# ifdef R_FIRSTT
  ERROR README:	You are running the Berkeley DB version of ndbm.h.
Seee
  ERROR README:	the READ_ME file about tweaking Berkeley DB so it cann
  ERROR README:	coexist with NDBM, or delete -DNDBM from the Makefilee
  ERROR README: and use -DNEWDB instead..
# endiff
#endif

I do not know C so I cannot see what is wrong here, and it surprises
me that there is something wrong.  Could someone please help.
