I am testing Slackware 15 in an LXC container and am trying to build a PostgreSQL package.
I've downloaded the source in the DOWNLOAD directive in the postgresql.info file.
I've been installing everything I needed when encountered however, after last `./postgresql.SlackBuild` I am stuck on the current error:
Code:
...
checking tcl.h usability... yes
checking tcl.h presence... yes
checking for tcl.h... yes
checking for perl.h... yes
checking for libperl... no
configure: error: libperl library is required for Perl
`libperl.so` is found here:
Code:
/usr/lib64/perl5/CORE/libperl.so
/usr/lib64/libperl.so
I've also noticed in `config.log` the following error:
Code:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnsl
Although, I see a lot of "/usr/bin/ld cannot find etc, etc" errors so this may not be part of the problem.
Here is more of the error from config.log:
Code:

This happens at the `--with-perl` flag on `.configure` in `postgresql.Slackbuild`.
