#39 Compile error on v.0.7.14

[Michael Fox]

After running ./configure and then make..

I get the following error...

gcc -g -O2 -o opendchub commands.o fileio.o main.o

Any hints on what stuff the system is missing????

you donn't have libperl installed

Yep, I had the exact same error, fixed it with an 'apt-get
install libperl-dev'

From the documentation it seems you could also give the
--disable-perl argument to configure so that it won't try
and use perl. This would probably limit your ability to do
scripting though.
