>Description:

when database/p5-gdbm is built, I see the following in the build log:

===> Configuring for p5-gdbm-5.12.2
=> Checking for portability problems in extracted files
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lgdbm

^^^^^^^ now no linking with -lgdbm ^^^^^^^^

make test shows the test being skipped:

===> Testing for p5-gdbm-5.12.2
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/pkg/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" 
"test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/gdbm.t .. skipped: GDBM_File was not built

csys =  0.59 CPU)
Result: NOTESTS

And finally, a very simple perl program using GDBM_File:

-------------
#!/usr/pkg/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use GDBM_File;

my $filename = "/tmp/gdbm_test";
my %hash;

tie %hash, 'GDBM_File', $filename, &GDBM_WRCREAT, 0640;
# Use the %hash array.
untie %hash ;

print "All good\n";
-------------

% ./test.pl
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.0/alpha-netbsd-thread-multi/auto/GDBM_File/GDBM_File.so:
 Undefined PLT symbol "gdbm_open" (symnum = 23)

because we didn't link with -lgdbm....
        
>How-To-Repeat:
        
>Fix:

I can hack around this by 

make configure
vi work/perl-5.12.2/ext/GDBM_File/Makefile

and adding -lgdbm right next -lperl but I'm guessing there is a right way to 
get this module to recognize that I have gdbm installed
(via pkgsrc).

With this hack the simple test.pl script above works.
