here's the fix

[root@qmail /usr/lib]# ln -s libgdbm.so.2.0.0 libgdbm.so

so that:

[root@qmail /usr/lib]# ls -l libgdb*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root  root      16 Nov 25 10:35 libgdbm.so -> libgdbm.so.2.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root  root      16 Nov 18  1997 libgdbm.so.2 -> libgdbm.so.2.0.0
-rw-r--r--   1 root  root   26041 Oct 15  1997 libgdbm.so.2.0.0 


Note that this isn't really (at least by redhat's definition) an
installation problem....  (rpm -V was clean)

hhmm, maybe it is, perl -V shows -lgdbm, but the compiler doesn't find
libgdbm.so.2 when compiling/linking with -lgdbm, so something's a little
out of whack. :-(
