Error

I'm trying to install OpenMortal which is a Mortal Kombat clone. The problem is that after the "make" command it does something and then I get an error:

Code:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [openmortal] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/christmas/openmortal-0.7/src'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

 

The same goes with other programs. What is this lperl and how should I get rid of this error?

 

solution:

 

sudo apt-get install libperl-dev

 

Umm..also check you have libperl installed, if you haven't already

Hope that helps

edit: perl is a programming language
