You have a missing library or an incorrect library path there. The 'db' library is being requested by the '-ldb' section of that command, and it's not being found. You might try adding '-L/usr/lib' or some similar library path, or installing a package that provides the library. I'm terribly rusty with the directory structure of Solaris, so I couldn't say for sure.

That's really more of a C or Solaris question than a Perl question, even though it's perl you're compiling. I'm not complaining, but you might get better advice in a C forum or a Solaris forum. Don't count out a much better and more specific answer here, though, than mine.

Update: pc88mxer's, for example, might give you a better start.
