*-dev, in the general case. Don't try to install them all now (they can't all be installed simultaneously anyway) - just install things as you need them. > The make process is failing with this message: > > No <db.h> include file found. > Install the appropriate db*-devel package first. So, if you want to compile Postfix against libdb3 - presumably a reasonable choice, looking at the Debian package's current dependencies - you need to install libdb3-dev.
