Oracle changed the internal location/mapping/bundleing of some thier binaly
files.
Specifally the libclntsh.so file is now bundled in the libclntsh.so.10.1
file (depending on which client)
Pehaps we can use LD_RUN_PATH instead in the next version of DBD::Oracle
I will look into this.
cheers

Subject: Compiling DBD::Oracle 1.17 with LD_RUN_PATH
I had just built and installed DBD::Oracle 1.17, and I found that I
couldn't
use it unless I had LD_LIBRARY_PATH set in my environment. However, with
an
installation of DBD::Oracle 1.06, I didn't need LD_LIBRARY_PATH set.
It turns out that the Makefile for 1.06 sets LD_RUN_PATH, which then gets
included in the compiled Oracle.so file, making LD_LIBRARY_PATH
unnecessary.
The Makefile for 1.17, on the other hand, doesn't set LD_RUN_PATH.
By setting LD_RUN_PATH in my environment, I was able to build 1.17 with
the
path included in Oracle.so.
I'm curious why this change in behavior occured.
thanks,
Ronald
