Hello! This is my first post, so please let me know if I've done something wrong. Before I start, I know that there are already a couple threads on this topic, but they don't seem to work for me. I am trying to configure perl for compilation. when I run
Code:
sh Configure -des -Dprefix=/usr \
-Dvendorprefix=/usr \
-Dman1dir=/usr/share/man/man1 \
-Dman3dir=/usr/share/man/man3 \
-Dpager="/usr/bin/less -isR" \
-Duseshrplib \
-Dusethreads
I get this result:

Checking how to test for symbolic links...
You can test for symbolic links with 'test -h'.
Checking for cross-compile
No targethost for running compiler tests against defined, running locally
Good, your tr supports [:lower:] and [:upper:] to convert case.

I've tried to compile and run the following simple program:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() { printf("Ok\n"); return(0); }
I used the command:
cc -o try -O2 -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector-strong -I/usr/local/include -fstack-protector-strong -L/usr/local/lib try.c -lpthread -lnsl -lgdbm -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc -lgdbm_compat
./try
and I got the following output:
./try: error while loading shared libraries: libgdbm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The program compiled OK, but exited with status 127.
You have a problem. Shall I abort Configure [y]
Ok. Stopping Configure.
As other threads have suggested, I added /usr/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf, but it didn't do anything. I've recompiled GDBM and GZIP multiple times, to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
