Hey guys:

I'm trying to install the newest gaim. I am running debain and there is not deb for the current version, so I decided to take the scenic route and get the tar. when I make it, I get the error:
...
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
...

Iknow that this is a linking prob, but don't know what I need for a package to make this work. I have perl 5.6, and don't know what i need to fix this, please help

it sounds like a problem not with perl, but with gaim. Gaim has its own feature to run perl scripts from within, i would start looking there
