Presumably, something in your Makefile.PL contains -lgdbm, which means "link against a library called libgdbm. You need to add to that statement -L/usr/local/lib, which means "also look for libraries in the path /usr/local/lib", since that's probably where libgdbm is. Don't take the advice you've been given about creating symlinks in /usr -- it's messy and not good practice. :-) If the instructions above aren't enough to get you going, gimme a shout in private mail.
