24 | <para os="m1">In multilib builds we install compilers and libraries for each available |
---|
25 | architecture. The description below says that perl installs several hundred |
---|
26 | libraries, but they are used by invoking <command>perl</command>, not by linking |
---|
27 | to them with <command>ld</command>. Although it is possible to install perl for |
---|
28 | 32 bits, move it to a different name, and then install the 64-bit version, it is |
---|
29 | almost always invoked as just <command>perl</command>. That means only the |
---|
30 | libraries and modules for the last version installed will be accessible. We |
---|
31 | therefore only install one version.</para> |
---|
32 | |
---|
33 | <para os="p3">Perl does not, by default, know about library directories with names other |
---|
34 | than lib, such as lib64. The following patch will allow it to install to lib64.</para> |

37 | |
---|
38 | <para os="p5">There is a further (possibly cosmetic) anomaly - if we install perl and |
---|
39 | then run <command>perl -V</command> it will claim that libc is in /lib. The |
---|
40 | following patch fixes this, but only takes effect when <command>make install |
---|
41 | </command> is run.</para> |
