Deep troubles with DB_File module

[Pavel Zichovsky]

Hi there!

I have tried to install new SA from CLAMAV-SA pacakage on mailscanner.info

But I have got to problem with module DB_File, which results in completeley unresponsive system (only hard reset works), 


First during install I noticed this error on build and install of DB_File:
----------------------------------------------------
Attempting to build and install DB_File-1.810
Unpacking perl-tar/DB_File-1.810.tar.gz


Do not worry too much about errors from the next command.
It is quite likely that some of the Perl modules are
already installed on your system.

The important ones are Mail-ClamAV and Mail-SpamAssassin.

Parsing config.in...
Looks Good.
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for DB_File
cp DB_File.pm blib/lib/DB_File.pm
AutoSplitting blib/lib/DB_File.pm (blib/lib/auto/DB_File)

version.c:30:16: db.h: is not file or directory
make: *** [version.o] Error 1

----------------------------------------------------
But script continued so I did not worry as it said above

Finaly when script started building SA package, there were these warnings: 
----------------------------------------------------
***************************************************************************
NOTE: the optional DB_File module is installed,
but is not an up-to-date version.

  Used to store data on-disk, for the Bayes-style logic and
  auto-whitelist.  *Much* more efficient than the other standard Perl
  database packages.  Strongly recommended.

But when it started testing, something went terribly wrong:

----------------------------------------------------
At this line server go stuck and stopped responding completely, all services (e.g. samba or httpd) were "dead".

After few minutes waiting for reecovery, I did hard reset, and server is now wotking OK. But I am afraid that when I'll install
again, it will got stuck as now.

Is there any way of correctly install working DB_File? Unfortunately I am not Perl or Linux "guru" so I am asking here to avoid
worse errors.  

Thanks in advance
