24# Debian and Red Hat, and perhaps other vendors, provide both runtime and
25# development packages for some libraries. The runtime packages contain shared
26# libraries with version information in their names (e.g., libgdbm.so.1.7.3);
27# the development packages supplement this with versionless shared libraries
28# (e.g., libgdbm.so).
29#
30# If you want to link against such a library, you must install the development
31# version of the package.
32#
33# These packages use a -dev naming convention in both Debian and Red Hat:
34# libgdbmg1 (non-development version of GNU libc 2-linked GDBM library)
35# libgdbmg1-dev (development version of GNU libc 2-linked GDBM library)
36# So make sure that for any libraries you wish to link Perl with under
37# Debian or Red Hat you have the -dev packages installed.
