Subject: DBM files portable?

Question: I thought that files created by the dbm library
were pretty portable?

My app created a .db file (Ruby 1.8.2, Red Hat FC1) and I
gave it to a couple of people.

Tried it on OSX and it didn't seem to work. Not a gigantic
surprise perhaps.

Tried it on Gentoo also and it still didn't seem to work. :/
This surprised me a little more.

Is this sensitive to OS versions, Ruby versions, or what?


Thanks,
Hal
