#44 gdbm.so fails to dynamically link with libgdbm

[Anonymous]

libgdbm can not be always found in system run-path. On
my platform (NetBSD 2.0), libgdbm is a 3rd party
package and is located in /usr/pkg/lib, where gdbm.so
needs to know in prior. That is, a run-path option
against there needs to be passed to the command-line
linking gdbm.so.

I think this could be done in the same way as
ICONV_LDFLAGS.

No patch from me. Sorry.

Can you try --with-local=/usr/pkg at configuration time?
Didn't it work?

Thanks for the reply. Even with --with-local, libgdbm is
not dynamically linked. The point is whether "-Wl,-R..." is
passed to cc or not. "-Wl,-L..." is already passed to cc,
so static linking is succeeding.

I see the problem. Will fix in the next release. Thanks
for reporting.
