Hello, I'm sorry to bother you, but I saw Dave Moellenhoff's name and email in the DBD::Oracle README.help.txt fie for an issue similar to what our team is seeing when using DBD::Oracle 1.19 that our computing team installed for our development team. I tried contacting him at the provided email address with no success (is he the same Dave Moellenhoff that is the CTO for Salesforce.com?). Our local computing team seems to not be able to resolve a library path issue we are seeing when using DBD::Oracle. I think what they're asking us and our customers to do is a work-around and not the way things should be. Here is the error we are seeing when we use our "ftrq" tool which uses DBD Oracle: (SunOS 5.6) $ ftrq install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load '/apps/public/lib/perlmodules/5.8.4/sun4-solaris/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle. so' for module DBD::Oracle: ld.so.1: /apps/public/bin/perl: fatal: libclntsh.so.9.0: open failed: No such file or directory at /apps/public/perl_5.8.4/lib/5.8.4/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 230. at (eval 3) line 3 Compilation failed in require at (eval 3) line 3. Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected at /mot/proj/ddts/admin/lib/Oracle.pm line 137
The work around is to set the following: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/apps/vendor/oracle/lib After setting this the execution is fine. I see this comment in the README.help.txt file from Mr. Moellenhoff (http://search.cpan.org/src/PYTHIAN/DBD-Oracle-1.19/README.help.txt): "Also: Never copy libclntsh.so to a different machine or Oracle version. If DBD::Oracle was built on a machine with a different path to libclntsh.so then you'll need to set an environment variable, typically LD_LIBRARY_PATH, to include the directory containing libclntsh.so." Is this related and if so do you have some advice or guidance I can share with our computing team that can get this resolved so our customers don't have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to use our tool and we don't have to develop a wrapper for it? Thanks so much for any assistance you folks can offer. Kind regards, Shannon Kerr iDEN Networks Infrastructure SCM Team Motorola, Inc.
