please direct your support requests at the PAR mailing list and not to me privately. There's people on the list who know more about PAR than I do. I added the list to CC. The solution to your problem is probably to install a missing package. It's strange that it's failing during linking. I'd expect it to be missing perl headers. Right now, I have no Ubuntu to check, but have a look at the base perl packages that aren't installed. You definitely need libperl-dev or so. Best regards, Steffen
