I'm not much more than a newbie myself, so caveat lector and all. The
config.log is usually full of errors, that's how it works. configure
compiles and runs a whole slew of little programs to see which ones work
or don't work to give it a picture of your machine. The important bit is
the last error before it stopped. In this case I'm guessing that would
be "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgdbm". So it can't find the gdbm library
that you're requesting. Do you have it installed? If you do, is the
library directory listed in /etc/ld.so.conf (assuming this is linux) and
have you run ldconfig (I forget if that's the right name exactly) since
you installed it? These two steps are necessary to put the library
directory in ld's search path.
Or you could drop the --with-gdbm and see how it goes.
