Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libperl5.8
$ locate libperl
...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libperl5.8.shlibs
/usr/lib/libperl.so.5.8
/usr/lib/libperl.so.5.8.8
/usr/share/defoma/libperl-file.pl
...
>>> There's no libperl.a, and no libperl.so
$ perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts
-Wl,-E -L/usr/local/lib /usr/lib/perl/5.8/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a
-L/usr/lib/perl/5.8/CORE -lperl -ldl -lm -lpthread -lc -lcrypt
>>> Notice the "-lperl". The linker will then look for "libperl.a", or
"libperl.so", neither of which exist.
Solutions are:
a) soft link libperl.so -> libperl.so.5.8
b) Update Perl so that the "ldopts" flag prints out something other than
"-lperl"
** Affects: perl (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
--
libperl.so doesn't exist, and "perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts" outputs
"-lperl"
