Hi, I'm trying to use DBI 1.14 and DBD-Oracle 1.06 under Solaris 8 and Oracle 8.1.6. When I first installed DBD::Oracle I had the problem where the message "You must install a Solaris patch to run this version of the Java runtime" appeared. I read the very helpful README.java file and tried the LD_PRELOAD solution (#2), which worked for some cases but broke other stuff. I then tried the "recompiling Oracle libraries" solution (#1), which seemed to work fine. My question is: has anyone had experience using this re-compiled version of Oracle 8.1.6? In particular, does anyone know exactly what gets disabled in Oracle when I recompile it without the Java libraries? I'm doing this for a client and I need to figure out if they might have any problems in the future using this modified Oracle installation. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Matias
