It certainly is possible - that dependency is only mentioned because GDBM was added to the book to replace Berkeley DB (as Man-DB needs one of those) and Perl can optionally use GDBM. I don't know what exactly Perl does with GDBM - might only use it in the testsuite - but it is definitely optional. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
