From michaels@iiidev1.iii.co.uk

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

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. 3b1 dynix isc nonstopux stellar

Which of these apply\, if any? [solaris_2]
Operating system name? [solaris]
Operating system version? [2.7]
Build a threading Perl? [n]
Build Perl for multiplicity? [n]
Use which C compiler? [cc]
Checking for GNU cc in disguise and/or its version number... Now\, how can we feed standard input to your C preprocessor... Directories to use for library searches? [/usr/local/lib /opt/APPS/forte-6/SUNWspro/WS6/lib /usr/lib /usr/ccs/lib]
What is the file extension used for shared libraries? [so]
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.

From [Unknown Contact. See original ticket]

It starts working if I add -R/usr/local/lib to lddlflags and ldflags.
