How did you build gdbm so and a file and where did they you land after
make install.
I do normally so (under MDK, RH):
./configure --prefix=/usr
Afterwards changing the prefix per hand in Makefile too to /usr
make install-compat
make install
Than you should have /usr/lib/libgdbm.a
libgdbm.la
libgdbm.so.2.0.0
libgdbm.so -> libgdbm.so.2.0.0
libgdbm.so.2 -> libgdbm.so.2.0.0
in /usr/include/gdbm should be *dbm*.h files, if not copy per hand.
I rebuilt qpopper 4.0.4 to include APOP

probably a link to libgdbm.so.3 -> libgdbm.so.2.0.0 solves this without
changing
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Under which user popper is executed?

Show how you call configure and config.log and config.status and the
output of configure
