} 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 -pthread -I/usr/include -I/usr/pkg/include 
-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector -I/usr/pkg/include 
-fstack-protector -L/usr/pkg/lib try.c -lm -lcrypt -lgdbm -lpthread
}          ./try

     You also need -R/usr/pkg/lib.  -L is for link time (i.e. when the
program is being compiled), -R is for run time.  However, as Johnny Lam
says, you probably just want to use databases/p5-gdbm rather then
modifying the perl package.
