Hello.
Someone asked me about installing oracle module on hp-ux. They said always failed in
install.
So I let they know how to compile in my experience. But it was same thing.
I tried to fix makefile file and write a documentation about this problems. but
anything coudn't help them.
I know this problem caused by oracle but hope you don't look on this.
Thank you for your modules, Tim.
Best Regards.
