After reading your e-mail, I tested a build of IRCServices 5.0.36 on
FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT (as of Jun 12).

Did you copy this source tree from Linux or some other OS and neglect to do
a `gmake clean` and rerun configure? FreeBSD 5 (and 4) have no need for libdl
in order to use the dl*() functions necessary for the modules in IRCServices.

Changing -ldl to -Ldl works because the -L argument sets a library search
path. A valid use of -L would be something like -L/usr/local/lib or
-L/usr/home/smkelly/mylibs/. You should just omit the -Ldl or -ldl bit
altogether.

You need to do a `gmake clean` and run ./configure again. The configure
file specifically sets ${CP_ALL} to not contain a -d argument on FreeBSD.
It only adds the -d on CYGWIN and Linux. Note that in my `gmake install`
output below, there is no -d in the cp line.

gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/home/smkelly/ircservices-5.0.36/data'
/bin/cp -pr helpfiles "/usr/home/smkelly/ircservices/lib"
chmod -R 700 "/usr/home/smkelly/ircservices/lib/helpfiles"
find "/usr/home/smkelly/ircservices/lib/helpfiles" -type f -exec chmod 600 '{}' \;

Doing a `gmake clean` and rerunning ./configure should solve your problems.
