Error while trying to execute a command: anydbm issue

[Samyak Rout]

Hi,

While executing a command I am facing the below error on my Windows 7
system. I had installed cygwin but still not able to understand how to
go ahead with. Can you please help e in getting this issue resolved.

ERROR: cvs2svn uses the anydbm package, which depends on lower level
dbm libraries. Your system has dbm, with which cvs2svn is known to
have problems. To use cvs2svn, you must install a Python dbm library
other than dumbdbm or dbm. See
http://python.org/doc/current/lib/module-anydbm.html for more
information.

NOTE: Need installation steps for the same in Windows 7 system.

Thanks and Regards,
Samyak

Use Cygwin setup.exe to install libgdbm if it is not installed.
If that doesn't do it, ask on a Python list.
