OK, tried a bit more self-help this morning - but came unglued :(

I read up on various documents for installing perl modules. Here's what
I did & what I got:

$ cd /usr/src/contrib/perl5/ext/GDBM_File
$ perl Makefile.PL
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lgdbm
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -ldbm
Writing Makefile for GDBM_File

$make
mkdir blib
mkdir blib/lib
cp GDBM_File.pm blib/lib/GDBM_File.pm
Autosplitting ...<snip>
...</snip>
GDBM_File.xs:5: gdbm.h: No such file or directory
*** Error Code 1

Stop.
$


Where to go / what to do next?
