OK - Have you resolved the -ldb issue?
Perl is linked with -ldb (Berkeley DB) by default if it is found. Both 
-ldb (version 1.x) and DBlibrary define a dbopen() function...

YOu need to rebuild perl without the -ldb extra library (this is done
during the Configure step), and then rebuild sybperl.

YOu can safely build DB_File if you need it, as the two shared objects 
can co-exist with no problem.
