I'm running Red Hat AS 4 on a Sunfire X4200 with 4 GB RAM, 2.6.9-67.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Nov 7 13:58:04 EST 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Perl 5.8.5 installed with DBI 1.601 and DBD::Oracle 1.19, and the Oracle 10.2.0.1 client at /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.1/client ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.1/client LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.1/client/lib
I have a lot of Perl scripts that connect to an Oracle DB that work fine from the command line when run as root, and fail from crontab or with sudo when not run as root directly. I've tried including the ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables in my crontab file, but they still fail. This fixed a problem that I had seen previously with Java, that was fixed when I included JAVA_HOME in my crontab, so I was surprised when it failed with Oracle DBD. The error message that I get is install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: libclntsh.so.10.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 230. at (eval 3) line 3 Compilation failed in require at (eval 3) line 3.
