Installing Sendmail frm tarball; makemap problems

[Al Sparks <data345 yahoo com>]

I'm running RH 7.2.  Presently I'm running sendmail-8.12.6, which I'm
trying to upgrade.

The problem is that when I install sendmail-8.12.8, I'm having trouble
with makemap.

An install of makemap from the older sendmail-8.12.6 source has
   $ makemap -l
   hash
   btree
which means that makemap supports those maptypes.

When I install the newer (the latest) sendmail-8.12.8, and include
makemap, -hash doesn't work, and in fact when I list out the supported
maptypes, makemap sans sendmail-8.12.8 lists nothing.

I've been told that I need Berkely DB for this to run.  As far as I
can tell, I indeed have that.  In fact, makemap should not run maptype
"hash" w/o Berkely DB regardless of the version.

Has anyone had any problems with the latest sendmail install?  I'm
installing straight from the tarball provided by sendmail, not from
the RH rpm.
