[ale] Perl ?

[Herman, Izzie]

I am trying to compile xchat on Debian (Woody) and am getting the following error:

 -lcrypt -ldl /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so  -Wl,--export-dynamic -Wl,-soname -Wl,perl.so -o .libs/perl.so
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [perl.la] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/izzie/xchat-2.0.1/plugins/perl'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/izzie/xchat-2.0.1/plugins'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/izzie/xchat-2.0.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

What lib or whatever am i missing?

PS:  apt-get install xchat doesn't work either, it gives me:

mystic:/home/izzie/xchat-2.0.1# apt-get install xchat

Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  xchat: Depends: xchat-common (= 1.8.9-0woody2) but 1.8.9-1.ximian.1 is to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages

I do have xchat-common installed
