I'm trying to build 5.6.1 on solaris, and the build dies when trying
to link against libgdbm:

michaels@iiidev1:~/perl-5.6.1> sh Configure -des                 
First let's make sure your kit is complete.  Checking...
Would you like to see the instructions? [n]  
Locating common programs...
Checking compatibility between /bin/echo and builtin echo (if any)...
Symbolic links are supported.
Checking how to test for symbolic links...
You can test for symbolic links with 'test -h'.
Good, your tr supports [:lower:] and [:upper:] to convert case.
Using [:upper:] and [:lower:] to convert case.

Directories to use for library searches?

Build Perl for SOCKS? [n]  
Checking for optional libraries...
What libraries to use? [-lsocket -lnsl -lgdbm -ldb -ldl -lm -lc]  
What optimizer/debugger flag should be used? [-O]  
Any additional cc flags? [-I/usr/local/include]  
Let me guess what the preprocessor flags are...
Any additional ld flags (NOT including libraries)?
[ -L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/APPS/forte-6/SUNWspro/WS6/lib]  
Checking your choice of C compiler and flags for coherency...
I've tried to compile and run the following simple program:

#include <stdio.h>
int main() { printf("Ok\n"); exit(0); }

I used the command:

        cc -o try -O -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/APPS/forte-6/SUNWspro/WS6/lib try.c -lsocket -lnsl -lgdbm -ldb -ldl -lm -lc
        ./try

and I got the following output:

ld.so.1: ./try: fatal: libgdbm.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed
The program compiled OK, but exited with status 137.
You have a problem.  Shall I abort Configure [y]  
Ok.  Stopping Configure.

I've tried to disable gdbm support with -Ui_gdbm, but I still get the
same error.
