i was under the impression that phpwiki would create the dbm files itself.
it creates the flat files itself?  if that's not what you mean then i
don't understand sorry ...  here's the relevant section of my config file:

   $WhichDatabase = 'dba'; // use one of "dbm", "dba", "mysql",
                           // "pgsql", "msql", or "file"

   // DBM and DBA settings (default)
   if ($WhichDatabase == 'dbm' or $WhichDatabase == 'dba' or
       $WhichDatabase == 'default') {
      $DBMdir = "/tmp";
      $WikiPageStore = "wiki";
      $ArchivePageStore = "archive";
      $WikiDB['wiki']      = "$DBMdir/wikipagesdb";
      $WikiDB['archive']   = "$DBMdir/wikiarchivedb";
      $WikiDB['wikilinks'] = "$DBMdir/wikilinksdb";
      $WikiDB['hottopics'] = "$DBMdir/wikihottopicsdb";
      $WikiDB['hitcount']  = "$DBMdir/wikihitcountdb";

was there a solution?  i know debian pretty well but i can't find any
documentation exactly where the dba module is.  the docs say it's compiled
in and it looks like it is from running strings on the php binary but it's
more then possible that i have to enable something in a config file or
something.

i used apt-get.  when i try dbm i get a blank page in my browser with just
this when i view source:
