I just got a brand new checkout tonite and have the following problem:
$ perl Configure.pl
Parrot Version 0.0.13 Configure 2.0 Copyright (C) 2001-2003 The Perl Foundation. All Rights Reserved.
Hello, I'm Configure. My job is to poke and prod your system to figure out how to build Parrot. The process is completely automated, unless you passed in the `--ask' flag on the command line, in which case it'll prompt you for a few pieces of info.
Since you're running this script, you obviously have Perl 5--I'll be pulling some defaults from its configuration.

Hope someone know more about this gdbm_compat thing then I do...
I am running a relatively stock Debian testing box.
Hope this helps, Matt
