Re: JDBC and Perl compiling problems w/ postgresql-7.1rc4 - Mailing list pgsql-general

With the Perl problem, it's saying you need a shared library version of
perl, but the one on your system isn't.

You'll either need to install a shared library version of Perl then, or
compile PostgreSQL without the --with-perl option.

Regards and best wishes,
