I'm trying to compile perl5.004.04 on my debian 1.3 system... when I run the configure script I get a problem when it trys to link with the dl library (libdl). libdl is in /lib... I don't see any other packages (I did install dld, though I don't know if it's necessary, it's not very descriptive)
Anybody have this compiled? Anybody know what I'm doing wrong/missing? Here's the [condensed] version of sh Configure -d in the perl directory. [...] Checking for optional libraries... [...] Found -ldb (shared). [...] Any additional libraries? [-lndbm -lgdbm -ldbm -ldb -ldl -ldld -lm -lc] [...] Checking your choice of C compiler, libs, and flags for coherency... I've tried to compile and run a simple program with: cc -O2 -Dbool=char -DHAS_BOOL -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -o try try.c -lndbm -lgdbm -ldbm -ldb -ldl -ldld -lm -lc ./try and I got the following output: ld: cannot open -ldl: No such file or directory I can't compile the test program. (The supplied flags might be incorrect with this C compiler.) You have a BIG problem. Shall I abort Configure (and explain the problem) [y] Ok.
