I had this same problem on Solaris 10 (both sparc & x86) and 64 bit
Instant Client last week. I fixed it by using the 32 client instead.
Didnt look into it too closely but I think it may be due to perl (both
ActiveState and the Sun provided one in /usr/perl5) are 32 bit so they
will always work no matter how the server is booted, instead of having
to provide two versions (one for when the server is booted 64 bit), and
they need to match the oracle version when linking.
Duncs
PS. If you ever try the Sun provided one, dont forget to use
$ perlgcc Makefile.PL
as perl is compiled with the Sun compiler and needs to perform some
conversions when you use gcc for the modules.
