Is it possible you've installed the 0.53 headers in one directory and the
0.60 headers in a different one?  That certainly seems a likely source of
the trouble.  

Take a closer look at the "make" output and your C_INCLUDE_PATH, and "grep
-i dbdead *.h".  If you don't see "#define DBDEAD" in the .h, you've found
the 0.53 version.
