Download MANIFEST.gz from Slackware
(I suggest Slackware 8.1, and also upgrade glibc) and type
zless MANIFEST.gz
Then / and libgdbm
and you will find a libgdbm.so.2.0.0

Download the package elflibs and either install the whole package

or unpack with tar -zxvf in /tmp and copy over that one library
to where it belongs (/usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0
ldconfig  to create a symlink to libgdbm.so.2 (or use ln -s)

ldd browsex (or the name of the binary) will list all dependencies
and tell you if you have them or not.
