This same thing happened to me when loading the Slackware 3.0
version of Linux 1.2.13

The error message "can't load library libgdbm.so.2" , is coming
from the sendmail program. Probably because somebody left some debug
code on by mistake.

To rectify the problem, install the libc package from the d set
(Program Development) from the Slackware distribution.

This will install the libgdbm.so.2 and the message will go away.

Another alternative is to use something other than the sendmail
program such as smail.

Check that libgdbm.so.2 is on your system.  It normally is in
/usr/lib.  If it isn't, try finding it with the "find" command.
