[rt-users] Building postgresql 7.1.2

[Ashley Gould]

In my attempt to demonstrate to Pavel I had built DBD::Pg correctly, I
inadvertantly ran 'make' again in my postgresql build directory, and low
and behold:

make[3]: Entering directory 
`/usr/local/build/postgresql-7.1.2/src/pl/plperl'
make -f Makefile all
make[4]: Entering directory 
`/usr/local/build/postgresql-7.1.2/src/pl/plperl'
*****
* Cannot build PL/Perl because libperl is not a shared library.
* Skipped.
*****
make[4]: Leaving directory 
`/usr/local/build/postgresql-7.1.2/src/pl/plperl'


Thanks, Pavel, for getting me to reset my brain.


So I get to rebuild perl.  Any advice is welcome.  Should I build 5.6.1?
How do I build libperl as a shared library?  

Ah well, back to the manuals.
