Is it exported? Try this real quick at the command line foo=6 bar=9 export bar perl -e 'print qq(foo is $ENV{foo}, bar is $ENV{bar})'
See the difference? Now try perl -e 'print qq(ORACLE_HOMEis $ENV{ORACLE_HOME})' If you don't get a value, make sure you export ORACLE_HOME before you build. If you do get a value, then I suspect it is getting wiped out and not reset in your build process.
