I am trying to install Digest::MD5 on a linux box (perl 5.6.1, yes i know i
should,....). i have gzip'd and tar'd the package, moved into the directory
and tried to 'perl Makefile.PL' and i get the following error message:
Testing alignment requiremnets for U32... /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldb
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Can't compile test program
Writing Makefile for Digest::MD5

from what i understand this means that the linker (/usr/bin/ld) program 
can't find the 'db' lib(?) but neither can i,... i went to gnu.org and
could not find anything relevent.  ( the reason i came to this conclusion
is originally the error read 'cannot find -lgdbm', which i did find at
gnu.org and installed,...)

I do know about the auto CPAN module and am in the process of installing it 
but that (CPAN) stated that it wanted LWP, LWP stated that it needed Digest::MD5
, Digest, told me the above.

Any insight is very much appreciated
thank you. 
( i don't always check this list, please 'cc' me if you respond )
