i see no perl executable around there

[Steve Kelem]

I downloaded perl5.8.5:
% perl --version

This is perl, v5.8.5 built for cygwin-thread-multi-64int

When I tried to build Compress::Zlib manually, I got the message:

LD_RUN_PATH="" ld2  -s -L/usr/local/lib Zlib.o adler32.o compress.o 
crc32.o gzio.o uncompr.o deflate.o trees.o zutil.o inflate.o infblock.o 
inftrees.o infcodes.o infutil.o inffast.o   -o 
blib/arch/auto/Compress/Zlib/Zlib.dll  
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/cygwin-thread-multi-64int/CORE/libperl.dll.a
i see no perl executable around there
perl is required to build dynamic libraries
go fetch one or build this one static
MAKE: *** [blib/arch/auto/Compress/Zlib/Zlib.dll] Error 1

Any idea what the problem is?

Thanks,
Steve Kelem
