The first one seems to be missing the architecture-component of where Perl lives, the second to be just wrong. On my system I have a perl-5.8.0 that was not installed from Debian package source or binary .deb, but rather built from upstream Perl src (it's a Woody system), and on this, my libperl.a is located at:
/opt/perl/lib/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.a
I might well be missing the point of the message entirely, and I suppose
you both know this already. Anyhow, clearly whatever is going on here is
wrong if the idea is to say correctly where a build is to find
'libperl.a'.
Maybe there is supposed to be a copy of libperl.a in /usr/lib: on my
system there exists one, which must be 5.6.1's.
Brendan must be able to explain this?
