[infomap-nlp-users] Issue with Infomap Configure

[Gaurav T. <g_t...@ya...>]

Hi,
 
I'm trying to install the Infomap tool. I already installed the required GNU DBM library in a local directory.
 
When running Infomap configure, I set the environment variables on the command line to point to the appropriate GNU DBM path. But configure is unsuccessful with warnings highlighted in red below.

If I don't specify the GNU DBM path, it doesn't throw any of these warnings, but rightfully suggest missing DBM files.
 
What could be missing in this case?
 
Thanks,
