Okay, for some reason the perl build process isn't looking in the
proper subdirectory (i.e., /usr/include/gdbm) for ndbm.h, which is
why it fails at that point when you try to compile it.
If you don't need it, try disabling the dbm support, or adding the
proper directory to the list of directories perl looks in at build-
time. There's a patch in the 5.6.0 package in Pinstripe that adds
this directory to the link path -- you may want to try starting with
it instead of the perl 5.00503 package from Zoot.
