Hmm, the obvious thing would be permission-problems.
Does /usr/local/lib exist ? What are the permissions ? (You must have
x and w access)
Does /usr/local/lib/libgdbm.la already exist ? What permissions ? (You
must have w-access)
Does libgdbm.la in the cir. where make expects it exists ?

Does that help ?
