You normally don't need to set ORACLE_HOME for instant client. Shouldn't that be /usr/compat/linux/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3, i.e. no client/lib on the end? > 4.

If that is the case DBD::Oracle should only add META_MERGE after testing ExtUtils::MakeMaker version. > 7. Ran 'make' and it compiled smoothly. > > 8.
