Tim's changed the Makefile.PL to include
$::opt_b = 1; # try to use Oracle's own 'build' rule
(it used to default to 0).
Unfortunately, this has the side effect of requiring you to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to load the libararies, and to my knowledge (not very
much knowledge), there's no way to actually set this value back to 0,
other than editing the script.
So, either
a) edit the script, don't use Oracle's build rule, and don't set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or
b) use Oracle's build rule, and do set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
I presume there ought to be a downside to option a?
