Solution:
I think that you have to specify:
> DBMDEF= -DNDBM -DNIS -DNISPLUS
> LIBS= -lresolv -lsocket -lnsl -lkstat
whether or not you are running NIS or NISPLUS
in my case before I used:
> DBMDEF= -DNDBM
> LIBS= -lresolv -lsocket -lnsl -lkstat
because I think I am not using NIS and NISPLUS...
Well, I am not sure why.
In the Digital Alpha I only specify -DNDMB and it worked.
