>Environment:
	<i386, NetBSD 1.5, libraries are: librep and gdbm
System: NetBSD lowden 1.5 NetBSD 1.5 (GENERIC) #1: Sun Nov 19 21:42:11 MET 2000 fvdl@sushi:/work/trees/netbsd-1-5/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386

>Description:
Trying to build Galeon, stumbling at librep. The
librep build tries to link to gdbm, but fails to find the gdbm library
(even though it's installed).  

Frederick Bruckman was unable to reproduce the problem using
1.5.3_ALPHA.  He suspects that the "-L" flags are only being added
conditionally on "-lintl" being needed, and either that isn't needed
on my system, or its need isn't being properly detected.  

I have been unable to work around the problem by changing the
Makefile.  

I believe my pkgsrc tree is up to date; I recently placed sup in my
crontab.

>How-To-Repeat:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/lang/librep
# pkg_info -L gdbm; make
