OK, tried a bit more self-help this morning - but came unglued :( I read up on various documents for installing perl modules. Here's what I did & what I got: $ cd /usr/src/contrib/perl5/ext/GDBM_File $ perl Makefile.PL Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lgdbm Note (probably harmless): No library found for -ldbm Writing Makefile for GDBM_File $make mkdir blib mkdir blib/lib cp GDBM_File.pm blib/lib/GDBM_File.pm Autosplitting ...<snip> ...</snip> GDBM_File.xs:5: gdbm.h: No such file or directory *** Error Code 1 Stop. $ Where to go / what to do next?
