Failure. (sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1)


Looks like this:
$ make
....
Running Mkbootstrap for plperl ()
chmod 644 plperl.bs
LD_RUN_PATH="" gcc -o blib/arch/auto/plperl/plperl.so  -G plperl.o
eloglvl.o SPI.o
/usr/sup/gnu/lib/perl5/sun4-solaris/5.00404/auto/Opcode/Opcode.so
-L../../../src/interfaces/libpq -lpq
/usr/sup/gnu/lib/perl5/sun4-solaris/5.00404/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a
-L/usr/sup/gnu/lib/perl5/sun4-solaris/5.00404/CORE -lperl -lsocket -lnsl
-lgdbm -ldl -lm -lc -lcrypt -ldb
ld: fatal: library -ldb: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to
blib/arch/auto/plperl/plperl.so
make: *** [blib/arch/auto/plperl/plperl.so] Error 1

(There is indeed no libdb of any sort on this system AFAICT. I'm just a
pedestrian though, does anyone know what it is supposed to be for?)

That sure sounds like Perl once again trying to circumvent the autoconf
logic.
