and Python.h. However, adding one won't fix your problem on
Debian-based distros, because for some wacko reason they put the
headers and the shlib .so symlink in different packages, cf
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amd64/perl/filelist
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amd64/libperl-dev/filelist
I am unfamiliar with a good reason for doing that. (I can certainly
see segregating the .a static library, or even not shipping it at
all, but what's it save to leave out the .so symlink?)
Because the .so symlink is only needed at build time. At runtime, you
need the .so.5.14 file. Hence .so.* -> $pkg, .h .a .so -> $pkg-dev.
That was Tom's point, I believe -- Debian does not do it that way.
- perl-base has /usr/lib/libperl.so.5.etc
- perl has the headers and a dependency on perl-base
- libperl-dev has the symlink /usr/lib/libperl.so > libperl.so.5.etc
So by installing "perl", you get enough to satisfy configure, but there
is still no usable -lperl.
