The default Fedora build of php no longer has gdbm support. Re-enabling
gdbm support is very easy, though:
1. Get the source rpm for php.
2. Install it: rpm -i php-4.x.yy-z.src.rpm
3. Find the line in php.spec that says '--without-gdbm \' and change that
to '--with-gdbm \'.
4. rpmbuild -bb php.spec
5. Install the php packages you just built.
That should do it.
