Hi all, Further to the dilemma regarding not being able to use perl scripts with the crypt() function in perl 5.6.1, the problem seems to be that despite the fact that libcrypt does exist (/lib/libcrypt-2.0.7.so, or the symbolic link /lib/libcrypt.so.1 which points to the 2.0.7.so file), perl configure says it cannot find it. 'ld -lcrypt' says no such file or directory. I've made sure I've include all directories in which libs exist (/usr/local/lib /lib /usr/lib), in the configure script but it still won't find crypt. How can I fix???
