Reinstall ndbm library without original CD

[Andrew Lee_5]

After installed gdbm, it has replaced the original ndbm.h in my system. So some of my previous cpp files cannot be compiled.
I want to re-install the ndbm again. But I don't have the original installer CD. I'd searched though hp.com but not found. Where can I get the installer? Or may anyone post it on here?
Thanks.

If you installed gdbm using Software Distributor then it should have kept a copy of any files replaced. You can search for it by going to;
cd /var/adm/sw
find . -print|grep ndbm.h

You should find it there. Or try running the find in /usr/newconfig

If you still cant find it I can post it to you but you need to tell me what version youre after - 10.20/11/11i

Thanks for your reply.
I can't find the backup file.
So would you please post yours to here?
I am using HP-UX 11i.
I am a newbie to HP-UX. So, I want to confirm these:
1. Is it ok if I just overwrite the ndbm.h file?
2. Should I install the whole library again?

Thanks!

Just replacing the header file might not be sufficient to get your old stuff to compile, but as its easy to try I would give it a go. Heres the file.
