I have gone through the steps to install Sendmail. I receive no errors, but when I run

sendmail -v -bi

I get the following errors

Cannot rebuild aliases: no database format defined
Cannot create database for alias file /etc/mail/aliases

I can't find an answer to this problem anywhere. Hopefully somebody out there can help me.

Thanks
 
Which makefile am I supposed to change? There is more than one and that page doesn't specify which one to edit.

 
I found out that not only did I need the db-4.1.xxx, I needed the db-devel-4.1.xxxx library installed. It would be nice if this was mentioned in the Sendmail documentation.
