Error building Mindi source

Geetha_1 — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 14:14:36 GMT

I am trying to create mindi binary (as part of the mondo rescue package). I get the following error on install.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl

How can I get fix this problem? busybox and parted2fdisk did install and are in the path, not sure why it complains. Thanks in advance. Geetha

For this error:

"/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl"

Try adding a link with name libperl.so wich points to libperl.so.

Shalom,

Seems that perl can't be found on the PATH

Find out where perl is, whereis perl

I did put in a link from /usr/lib to the path of libperl.so

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 60 Mar 19 14:19 libperl.so -> /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/ia64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so*

and included the path of the library. Didn't help. Thx.
