I got a perl-5.005.03 . When I type Configure -d,
the error infomation is :

ld.so.1​: ./try​: fatal​: libgdbm.so.2​: can't open file : errno=2
killed
The program compiled OK, but exited with status 137.
(The supplied flags or libraries might be incorrect.)
You have a problem. Shall I abort Configure [y]
Ok. Stopping Configure.

I want to install as the regular user, but I first change the owner
of /usr as the root. Where I should modify to install correctly?
By the way, the OS is SunOS 5.5.1.

Sincerely,
Zhiyu Zhou

Hmm. Do you have libdgbm.so in /usr/local/lib? If so, perhaps you need
to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include
/usr/local/lib before you run Configure. Alternatively, perhaps you could
run Configure interactively and be sure that you include the appropriate
-L and -R flags to find libgdbm.so.

If you want to install as a regular user, then you simply need to be sure
to specify a directory for which you have permission. You can specify
this with Configure -Dprefix=/usr/wherever . See the INSTALL file for
examples. Unless I misunderstand what you are trying to do, you don't
need to chown /usr at all.

Hope this helps,
