Radius 1.16 with dbm support

Greetings,
I am trying to make radius 1.16 with the dbm support, to improve the performance of our
server. I am building it on a Sparc 2 running Solaris 2.4. I know, it isn't a very fast
box anyway, that is why I need the dbm support ;-).
At first the make complained about not being able to fine the dbm.h file, but I
found it in /usr/ucbinclude, and also the dbm library in /usr/ucblib, but after I added
/usr/ucblib to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH, it still won't build. Below is a console:

So the library seems to be there, and is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Can anyone spot what
obvious mistake I must be making? Why can't 'ld' find it?

Are there any other special instructions or patches I need to get the dbm support
to work correctly?

Thanks in advance,

John
