I have been trying to install xemacs 21.4.22 in FreeBSD10 x64. Once I run ./configure and try to run make it gives me this error with libgdm.so library

[eddyraz@laptop-eddyraz] ~/proyectos/xemacs/xemacs-21.4.22% sudo make

cd ./lib-src && make   CC='cc' CFLAGS='-g -O3 -Wall -Wno-switch -Winline -Wmissing-prototypes -Wsign-compare -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith' LDFLAGS='' CPPFLAGS='' all

I have checked in /usr/local/lib and found libgdm.

[eddyraz@laptop-eddyraz] ~/proyectos/xemacs/xemacs-21.4.22% cd /usr/local/lib
[eddyraz@laptop-eddyraz] /usr/local/lib% ls -l | grep libgdm
[eddyraz@laptop-eddyraz] /usr/local/lib% ls -l | grep libgdbm

[eddyraz@laptop-eddyraz] /usr/local/lib%

Why does make error with cannot find -lgdbm?

Try:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib

then run make again. A note that you don't need sudo to run make.

From FreeBSD ldconfig documentation:

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable can be used to override the use of directories (or the order thereof) from the cache or to specify additional directories where shared libraries might be found. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is a `:' separated list of directory paths which are searched by the dynamic linker when it needs to load a shared library. It can be viewed as the run-time equivalent of the -L switch of ld(1).
