Charles,

Without access to a SunOS 4.1.* system, I can't say for sure exactly
what to do.  My recollection is that the header files on SunOS need to
be processed in a particular order.  I found a file named
"patch.SunOS.0208" which shows changes made for you (and have attached a
copy).  Likely, you'll need to do some experimenting to see which parts
apply.

In your error messages, i.e.:

datastore_db.c:48: parse error before `*'
datastore_db.c:48: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of
`dbe'
datastore_db.c:48: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
datastore_db.c: In function `resolveflags':
datastore_db.c:80: `DB_CREATE' undeclared (first use in this function)
datastore_db.c:80: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
datastore_db.c:80: for each function it appears in.)
datastore_db.c:80: warning: left-hand operand of comma expression has no
effect
datastore_db.c:81: `DB_EXCL' undeclared (first use in this function)
datastore_db.c:81: warning: left-hand operand of comma expression has no
effect
datastore_db.c:82: `DB_NOMMAP' undeclared (first use in this function)
datastore_db.c:82: warning: left-hand operand of comma expression has no
effect
datastore_db.c:83: `DB_RDONLY' undeclared (first use in this function)

The 3 for line 48 indicate dbe isn't defined and those at 80-83 show a
bunch of #define symbols are missing.  It looks like db.h isn't being
processed correctly. 

Also, looking in patch.SunOS.0208 (at the changes to datastore.c), I see
some reordering of #include statements.  Try changing the order to this:

#include <unistd.h>		/* for SEEK_SET for SunOS 4.1.x */
#include <db.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>

Let me know if changing the order helps.

David
