Error: undefined reference to ndbm functions

[Joel Sherrill]

You need to add the library to the gcc command that links the program. If
the libndbm is in the library search path, add -lndbm.

I don't recall the exact Makefile variable to set for this to show up. Look
at the paranoia sample. It should be doing this with -lm.
