I tried the two recommended procedures but I still have the same problem:

$ ./configure
creating cache ./config.cache
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking whether #! works in shell scripts... yes
launching proprietary configuration...

config.pl, Release 2002-2-1 (Revision 1.49)
Accompanies LaTeX2HTML, (C) 1999 GNU Public License.

checking for old config file (cfgcache.pm)... not found (ok)
checking for platform... cygwin (assuming unix)
checking for /usr/bin/perl.exe... /usr/bin/perl.exe
checking perl version... 5.010000
checking if perl supports some dbm... no
Error: Perl reported DBM error: dbmopen failed
LaTeX2HTML needs some DBM.
[1]+  Done                    emacs L2hos.pm

In fact this problem has been reported before but I have not been  able 
to find any reply:
    http://www.tug.org/pipermail/latex2html/2001-September/001376.html

Anyway, thank you for replying!
Cheers,
Luis
