Did you first run:

$ make -C ../library

This will build the libdazuko.a library.

These warnings occur on 64-bit systems (which you seem to be running).
You can work around the problem by using a "long" instead of an "int"
for the lines mentioned (in this example, line 104).

The maintainer of the Perl binding will need to do the proper fix.

I am unable to reproduce this particular problem. Was "make test"
successful?

On my 64-bit machine, I had to add "-fPIC" to the Makefile in the
library directory in order for the perl binding to work correctly. You
may want to try that as well.

The dazukoIOVersion symbol is located within the libdazuko.a library. It
seems that Perl is unable to find this library.
