Garnome 0.12.2 Compile Problems

[Nick Hudson <nhudson speakeasy net>]

Ok Im trying to compile and install garnome to /usr I get this error when trying to build gnome-applets 

/usr/lib -L/usr/lib -o multiload-applet-2  cpuload.o linux-proc.o load-graph.o loadavg.o main.o memload.o netload.o properties.o swapload.o -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lpanel-applet-2 -lgnomeui-2 -lSM -lICE -lbonoboui-2 -lgnomecanvas-2 -lgnome-2 -lart_lgpl_2 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lbonobo-2 -lgconf-2 -lgnomevfs-2 -lbonobo-activation -lORBit-2 -lxml2 -lz -lm -llinc -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lgobject-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lpthread -lglib-2.0                                        -L/usr/lib -lgtop-2.0 -lgtop_sysdeps-2.0 -lgtop_common-2.0 -lglib-2.0   
mkdir .libs
libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/local/lib/libgdbm.la'
make[4]: *** [multiload-applet-2] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/nhudson/garnome-0.12.2/gnome/gnome-applets/work/gnome-applets-2.0.0/multiload'


Why does it try to find it in /usr/local/lib when it finds all the other libs in /usr/lib?

Thanks
Nick
