Curious... like Chris, I routinely build LFS from a host with gdbm installed (i.e LFS itself), and never observed any problems relating to perl. Indeed, even on completed LFS install, /usr/bin/perl isn't linked against gdbm, and runs fine if I remove the libgdbm libraries. Can you be more specific about the problems you're seeing? Does the perl executable fail to run at all, unable to link to libgdbm.so? Or is it something less obvious? Simon.
