Hi Folks,
If memory serves, one thing I had to do when installing the Oracle
database client (and when I wanted to compile DBD::Oracle) was to take
particular care in ensuring the "Oracle9i Development Kit" was installed
(I don't believe it was included in the base installation).
I remember taking similar steps to yours, finding a bunch of .mk files
as well, then going back and scouring the custom installation options to
figure out what might have been missed. I dropped in the package above,
and it off it went...
YMMV 8^)
