Below is the part of the configure output where it is able to locate -ldb
  
  
  if this doesn't make any sense to you, just accept the default 'n'.
  Try to use long doubles if available? [n]
  
  Checking for optional libraries...
  No -lsfio.
  No -lsocket.
  No -lbind.
  No -linet.
  No -lnsl.
  No -lnm.
  No -lndbm.
  No -lgdbm.
  No -ldbm.
  Found -ldb.
  No -lmalloc.
  No -ldl.
  No -ldld.
  No -lld.
  No -lsun.
  Found -lm.
  No -lcrypt.
  No -lsec.
  No -lutil.
  Found -lc.
  No -lcposix.
  No -lposix.
  No -lucb.
  No -lbsd.
  No -lBSD.
  
  In order to compile perl5 on your machine, a number of libraries
  are usually needed.  Include any other special libraries here as well.
  Say "none" for none.  The default list is almost always right.
  
  What libraries to use? [-ldb -lm -lc]
  
  
  I have attached the gmake log of the build. If you see the log in the  ext directory all other modules like B,Cwd,Encode, etc... have been  built except DB_File.
  
  Thanks & Regards

To be blunt, please read

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html

and then ask yourself how we're supposed to give you any helpful advice,
given just the content of your message above.

You need to supply some detail of how it failed to work. Most likely this
is output from the build from where it seems that things first went wrong.
