18 # No version of Linux supports setuid scripts.
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
27 # If you want to link against such a library, you must install the development
28 # version of the package.
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.
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.

125 If dynamic loading doesn't work, read hints/linux.sh for further information.
131 You don't have an ELF gcc. I will use dld if possible. If you are
132 using a version of DLD earlier than 3.2.6, or don't have it at all, you
133 should probably upgrade. If you are forced to use 3.2.4, you should
134 uncomment a couple of lines in hints/linux.sh and restart Configure so
135 that shared libraries will be disallowed.

153 # which causes AnyDBM and NDBM_File to lock up. This is evidenced
154 # in the tests as AnyDBM just freezing. Apparently, this only
155 # happens on a.out systems, so we disable NDBM for all a.out linux
156 # systems. If someone can suggest a more robust test

165 # during the call to dbm_open. Not *in* dbm_open -- but between the call
166 # to and the jump into.
168 # To make a long story short, making sure that the *.a and *.sa pairs of
169 # /usr/lib/lib{m,db,gdbm}.{a,sa}
170 # were perfectly in sync took care of it.

194 It would appear you have a defective bash shell installed. This is likely to

196 Upgrading to a recent version (1.14.4 or later) should fix the problem.
