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.

158 using a version of DLD earlier than 3.2.6, or don't have it at all, you
159 should probably upgrade. If you are forced to use 3.2.4, you should

161 that shared libraries will be disallowed.
