I just installed the latest Mandrake distro, and I'm trying to get MovableType up and running, which requires DB_File. I normally don't ever have trouble installing this module, but whenever I try, I get the following error in the compilation:

cc -c -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/include -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSETBITS=64 -02 -DVERSION=\"1.805\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.805\" -fpic "-I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i686-linux-stdio/CORE" -D_NOT_CORE -DmDB_Prefix_t=size_t -DmDB_Hash_t=u_int32_t version.c
version.c:30:16: db.h: No such file or directory

I am a complete linux newbie, but that sounds to me like some Berkeley DB source files are missing from my distribution. Has anyone ever had similar problems or can offer me some advice on how to "get" that db.h file into it's proper place?

Thanks in advance,
Brad
