Compiling 8.0.1 on Ubuntu AMD_64

I'm trying to compile 8.0.1 on a 64bit Ubuntu system and get the following error:
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/tim/source/postgresql/postgresql-8.0.1/src/pl/plperl'
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -fpic -shared

Google hasn't helped.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Is there a libperl.so or libperl.a in /usr/lib/perl/5.8/CORE?  If not,
but you see one in some related directory, then our configure script
messed up (or Ubuntu is using a whacked-out Perl setup).  If there's
none to be found anywhere, you have an incomplete Perl installation.

Another possibility is that you have only libperl.a and need libperl.so,
but offhand I'd not expect that particular error message if that were
the issue.

            regards, tom lane

Jackpot.  apt-get install libperl-dev did the trick.  Thanks Tom and
Geff.  Your assistance is much appreciated.

the build is trying to compile plperl extension language (for writing stored
procedures).

> -o libplperl.so.0.0 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl collect2: ld returned

the perl's .so library is not found.

Try to disable plperl (if you do not need writing stored procedures in it)
when running ./configure for postgresql. Otherwise I do not know....
