It might help if you tell us what your actual './configure' was ?

Something else might be pulling in the requirement for lmdb.

Here it goes:

./configure -j 8 --with-systemd --with-statedir=/usr/local/samba/var
--with-privatedir=/usr/local/samba/var/private
--with-logfilebase=/usr/local/samba/var/log
--with-privileged-socket-dir=/usr/local/samba/var/lib


Also, after I installed lmdb and succesfully built the sofware, I ran
"samba-tool dbcheck" and I got the following:

101, in __init__
    self.dn = ldb.Dn(samdb, self.dnstring)


After returning to Samba 4.8.5 the error disapears.

Andrew seems to have sorted your problem, but I will comment on your
'./configure' line.

It only needs to be './configure -j 8'

If libsystemd-dev is installed Samba will be built with systemd.

If you don't set a different prefix, everything ends up in
'/usr/local/samba'
