Hi Ralf,
Thanks for the explanation. I now understand the rationale, but...

...The DBD::Oracle I am using is the one from the 2003/11/29 package, which
is the same as the one in the 20040108 package: v1.14. And the
oracle-barebone that I built and used did not install demo_rdbms32.mk. Yet,
DBD::Oracle works fine for me on Solaris when it was built using
demo_rdbms.mk.

Actually, in my case I found the OCI stuff under Oracle Client for both the
Linux and Solaris installations. Upon taking a closer look, I now realize
that I have been installing "Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard
Edition for Sun SPARC Solaris (32-bit)", rather than "Oracle9i Database
Release 2 Enterprise Edition for Sun SPARC Solaris (64-bit)" as instructed
by the oracle-barebone documentation.
Since you want to use the 32-bit libraries anyway, wouldn't it be easier to
use the 32-bit download? Solaris 8 and 9 support it, and then there would be
no need to install the entire database server nor a need for the spec file
patch that forces the use of demo_rdbms32.mk.
In my case the resulting oracle-barebone file sizes are:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 psr psr 24650873 Jan 7 17:14
oracle-barebone-9.2.0.1.ix86-linux.cpio.bz2
-rw-rw-r-- 1 psr psr 27713659 Jan 8 11:35
oracle-barebone-9.2.0.1.sparc64-solaris.cpio.bz2
Note how much smaller my Solaris file is compared to yours.
