1cfa4ec7 21# Debian and Red Hat, and perhaps other vendors, provide both runtime and
22# development packages for some libraries. The runtime packages contain shared
23# libraries with version information in their names (e.g., libgdbm.so.1.7.3);
24# the development packages supplement this with versionless shared libraries
25# (e.g., libgdbm.so).
26#
27# If you want to link against such a library, you must install the development
28# version of the package.
29#
30# These packages use a -dev naming convention in both Debian and Red Hat:
31# libgdbmg1 (non-development version of GNU libc 2-linked GDBM library)
32# libgdbmg1-dev (development version of GNU libc 2-linked GDBM library)
33# So make sure that for any libraries you wish to link Perl with under
34# Debian or Red Hat you have the -dev packages installed.
35#
36# Some operating systems (e.g., Solaris 2.6) will link to a versioned shared
37# library implicitly. For example, on Solaris, `ld foo.o -lgdbm' will find an
38# appropriate version of libgdbm, if one is available; Linux, however, doesn't
39# do the implicit mapping.

49# However, most Linux users probably already have a /usr/bin/perl.
50# We can't know whether the current user is intending to *replace*
51# that /usr/bin/perl or whether the user is intending to install
52# a *different* installation.
53#
54# Here is what we used to do:
55# Allow a command line override, e.g. Configure -Dprefix=/foo/bar
56# case "$prefix" in
57# '') prefix='/usr' ;;
58# esac
59#
60# For now, let's assume that most Linux users get their /usr/bin/perl
61# from some packaging system, so that those compiling from source are
62# probably the more experimental folks and hence probably aren't
63# intending to replace /usr/bin/perl (at least just yet).
64# This change makes linux consistent with most other unix platforms
65# in having a default of prefix=/usr/local.

180 # I tried compiling with DBM support and sure enough things locked up

183 # to and the jump into.

185 # To make a long story short, making sure that the *.a and *.sa pairs of
