Bug#2589: perl can't load libdb.so.1
Package: perl
Version: 5.002-5
In the process of trying to install Debian 1.? onto an empty drive on my
system, I seem to be having difficulties with perl.
My current status is:
a) installation of base disks went OK
b) installation of kernel-developing resources went OK. These included
binutils, source, includes, libc5, gcc, make, and bin86.
c) compilation of "new" kernel with version number 1.3.64 went OK.
d) system booted with new kernel.
Then I tried unpack and configuring various packages, one at a time, to see
exactly how it things proceeded. The perl package failed at the configure
step, with the error message: "Can't load libdb.so.1"
This suprises me, since I think I have all the "lib" files that might be
necessary. dpkg -l | grep lib shows:
iF dld 3.2.6-2 dld - a library package of C functions that
ii dlltools 2.17-11 Tools used to create DLL jumptable libraries

Perl goes on to complain that it can't find wait.ph. Neither could I.
(You will notice that the first package listed, dld, didn't configure
either. That's only half-related to this bug, and I will report it in
another bug.)
Please let me know if this is some simple pilot error, or if I
haven't provided enough information for this to be diagnosed.
