Hmm. Do you have libdgbm.so in /usr/local/lib? If so, perhaps you need
to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include
/usr/local/lib before you run Configure. Alternatively, perhaps you could
run Configure interactively and be sure that you include the appropriate
-L and -R flags to find libgdbm.so.

If you want to install as a regular user, then you simply need to be sure
to specify a directory for which you have permission. You can specify
this with Configure -Dprefix=/usr/wherever . See the INSTALL file for
examples. Unless I misunderstand what you are trying to do, you don't
need to chown /usr at all.
Hope this helps,
