problem in installation of GNU dbm

[earonoff]

Hi

I tried to install GNU dbm, release 1.8.3, in my Kubuntu Linux system, 
following the instructions in your README file.

These worked fine:

configure
make
make install
make install-compat

but

make progs 

(to install the optional test and conversion programs) always failed with the 
following error message:

address@hidden:/home/ethan/gdbm-1.8.3# make progs
gcc  -o tndbm tndbm.o -lc
tndbm.o: In function `main':
/home/ethan/gdbm-1.8.3/./tndbm.c:148: warning: the `gets' function is dangerous 
and should not be used.

I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have.

Tnx much.
