[hypermail] Building problems with gdbm and pcre

Solaris 2.6 - hypermail 2.1.8

Just a few build notes:

I installed gdbm-1.8.3 in $HOME/local. btw -- gdbm fails to install the header file due to it trying to set owner and group so I manually copied the gdbm header.

hypermail didn't find gdbm at link time. So I edited the makefile to add
-L and -R with $HOME/local/lib.

I think upgrading autoconf might fix that. I think with other packages I'm able to use CPPFLAGS and LDFAGS at ./configure time and then all that's taken care of. hypermail's configure says autoconf 2.13 -- I've got 2.58 installed here.

Hypermail builds but still ldd shows:

$ ldd ~/local/bin/hypermail

        libgdbm.so.3 =>  /home/bmoseley/local/lib/libgdbm.so.3
        libm.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libm.so.1
        libpcre.so.0 =>  (file not found)
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1

I had to cd to src/pcre and make install there, too. Is that a step I missed in INSTALL or does Makefile not call src/pcre's make install?
