Thread: Cannot build PL/Perl ...

Cannot build PL/Perl because libperl is not a shared library.
I'v got this error when I tried to compile PL/Perl.
I have SuSE Linux 7.0 , have I get a libperl.so library , and put it in
/usr /lib ...

Thanks for any help
Adam

Hi Adam, I went through getting pl/perl working not too long ago - this
part of the docs talks about what you need to do.

By the way, if you intend to use perl functions with triggers - you should
be warned now that you can't - its not supported with 7.0. Although I don't
know about 7.1.
