You need to install the necessary development
headers/libraries required to build Python from source.

eg:

$ sudo apt-get install gdbm-dev

I'm sorry, but I don't actively use Debian/ubuntu based systems.

Please consult your package manager and search for
the "right package" to install.

"You need to install the development packages"

The right package is probably

$ sudo aptitude install libgdbm-dev

My primitive method of looking for candidates is

$ aptitude search dbm | grep dev

and I just learned that

$ aptitude search .*dbm.*dev

also works.
