Changing line 27 of config/inter/progs.pl to grep { $^O=~/VMS|MSWin/ || !/^-l(c|gdbm(_compat)?|dbm|ndbm|db)$/ } should help you along. I don't have a Debian box, but a friends "revision 5.0 version 8 subversion 2 (Debian unstable)" reveals: % perl -le 'use Config; print $Config{libs}' -lgdbm -lgdbm_compat -ldb -ldl -lm -lpthread -lc -lcrypt I have no idea why Debians perl is linked with gdbm_compat as well as gdbm. I suppose this is a patch :-) -- Lars Balker Rasmussen Consult::Perl
