sendmail 8.12.8 source compile

ive compiled sendmail 8.12.8 on suse 8.2 and everything works except the makemap command. it compiles fine, but when i try to run it i get euler:/etc/mail # makemap hash access < access makemap: Need to recompile with -DNEWDB for hash support i remember this happening to me on various suse 7.3 machines with sendmail-8.12.1 but i never got around it then. ive searched google and sendmail websites for info on this but get nowhere.
