Cannot find either the gdbm or the db library with Courier-IMAP

I was trying to compile the courier authentication library and while compiling i was getting this weird error

“Cannot find either the gdbm or the db library. “

Since i was using centos 4, i noticed that gdbm or berkeley db was needed and i just installed the packages of gdbm

yum install gdbm gdbm-devel

and that fixed the problem!
