Unfortunately, yes. The point is that Perl modules with XS parts require _exactly_ the C compiler under build-time which was used at the built-time of Perl. The build-time of a module (usually in package perl-xxx) is the run-time of perl, hence the perl package requires under both build- and run-time to gcc. Ralf S.
