Hi,

I did 
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
and ran ./Configure again. This time it completed OK.

Cheers
Long

Thanks Tommy and Jared for the advice. 

I have downloaded perl5.005_03.tar.gz from CPAN, unzip and untar it and started the 
installation. So I ran
        sh configure
and accepted default answer for all the questions asked. However after pressing ENTER 
for the two questions

        Any additinal cc flags? [-I/usr/local/include]
        Any additional ld flags? (NOT including libraries) [ -L/usr/local/lib]

the configure script compiled a simple "try.c" program and ran it, but failed. The 
error messages were


        Checking your choice of compiler and flag for coherency
        I've tried compile and link the following simple program:

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

        I used the command:
                gcc -O -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -o try try.c -lsocket 
-lnsl -lgdbm -lgl -lm -lc -lcrypt
                ./try

        and I got the following

        ld.so.1:  ./try: fatal: libgdbm.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory
        Killed
        The program compiled OK, but exist with status 137.
        (The supplied flags or libraries might be incorect).
        You have a problem . Shall I abort Configure? [Y]


BUT, the file /usr/local/lib/libgdbm.so.2 does exist and is a link to 
/usr/local/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0 .

So, I do not understand. Please help.

Thanks
Long
