mod_perl-2.0.1/ cannot find -lgdbm

[GrahamBright]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install mod_per-2.0.1 with Apache 2.0.50 and have problems with compling the module resulting error code.

make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/mod_perl-2.0.1/xs/APR/APR'
rm -f ../../../blib/arch/auto/APR/APR.so

I've read the tip

http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#Missing_or_Misconfigured_libgdbm_so

which outlines what to do if libgdbm libaries are not symbolic linked but these seem to be fine:

Any ideas where I'm going wrong.

Thanks,
Graham.
