Goal: Install the HTTP :: GHTTP module for perl running on AIX

Problem Statement: The Perl Makefile.pl command fails, it cannot find the "ghttp" library

What have I tried: I installed the libghttp rpm from the AIX for Linux tool kit. The module would not install. I then downladed the libraries directly and installed them, the module still cannot find the library. I have included some details below. Any help is very much appreciated

Moot point(s): I am working in a closed network with no CPAN shell access, so all my module installs require an excessive amount of manual effort.

Supporting details: 

---------------------------------------------------------------
Perl Makefile.PL

# /admin/perl5_64/bin/perl Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/usr/local/lib -lghttp'
+ INC='-I/usr/local/include'
running gnome-config... ok
checking for main() in -lghttp... no
libghttp not found
Try setting LIBS and INC values on the command line
Or get libghttp from
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/sources/libghttp/
HTTP:GHTTP (HTTP-GHTTP-1.07)
