As you know this is has been an ongoing problem.
I really must get a linux system for myself - right now I am answering
these queries based on information I've collected from others and
based on information from other systems...
The trouble with linux, also, is that everyone seems to have a
slightly different system...
Anyway - one person reported the same problem as you, and had to
remove -lgdbm and -lndbm from the perl linkline as well before it
would work for him.
Now whether this is related to the version of gdbm/ndbm installed on
the system, the version of the kernel, or the phase of the moon I
don't know...
I can only suggest building a minimal perl, and trying that with
sybperl, and then adding things incrementally to the perl binary to
see when it starts breaking...
You can easily do this by specifying a different installation
directory for your test perl binary, and then using that perl binary
when you do a perl Makefile.PL in the sybperl directory.
Something like this should work, assuming /u/tmp is a valid directory
on your system:
(in the perl src directory:)
./Configure -Dprefix=/u/tmp/perl
make; make test; make install
(in the sybperl src directory:)
/u/tmp/perl/bin/perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
Good luck - and let us know how it goes!
