Not exactly.  It is a secret known to ld, which is called by gcc.

This means that configure built a test program and successfully linked 
it to libgdbm.  So, that means you can successfully link to gdbm, and it 
is properly installed on your system.

This is good.

But this is not good.  The second step (and most important) of my advice 
was to add "--verbose" to THIS command as well.  Then, ld/collect will 
explicitly list EVERY place it looks for EVERY dependency, indicating 
whether or not the search was successful for EACH case.

Add --verbose to the collect2 command (if you're really ambitions, 
change the executable to "ld" instead of "collect2").

Didn't SOMEBODY suggest that you fix this linux sound problem FIRST, so 
that your link failures are single-cause, and not multiple-cause?  Why 
did you refuse to follow that advice?

I am going to stop responding to this thread until you follow the advice 

that has already been given.  why should anyone help you if their advice will 

only be ignored?
