lddlflags error

[Nexius2]

Hello,
during install I have an error returning that I would like to solve. it looks like my system doesn't have a library that Exiftool installer needs.
why does Exiftool need it? maybe I could install it before to make it happy?
did someone ever had something like this?

So the "make" fails?

If so, I don't know how to fix this, but you can avoid the whole install situation by just copying "exiftool" and the "lib" directory to anywhere in your path.  ExifTool is pure Perl, so it doesn't need to be compiled, and will run from anywhere.

Hello,
Yes make is not recognized on the system, I was wondering how to add libraries just to avoid this error. I thought that, just like exiftool lib,i could add other libs to avoid the error.
and yes, I already have it working ;-) it's more of a search to do better :-)

I could maybe help if I knew what system you were running.

synology DSM 6 ...some sort of debian :-)

Here's someone else with the same problem (installing another Perl package -- not ExifTool).

One person responded that this was solved by "touch /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/CORE/config.h" -- after this the "make" worked.
