When I execute my perl code to connect to the Oracle databse using the 32 Bit version of DBD-Oracle, I encounter the error below even though LD_LIBRARY_PATH points to the 32 bit libraries. Is there anything else that I need to set for this to work properly ?
Can't connect to database: install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so ' for module DBD::Oracle: ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/perl: fatal: /u01/app/oracle/product/9.0.1/lib/libclntsh.so.9.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 206. at (eval 14) line 3 Compilation failed in require at (eval 14) line 3.

The problem is that it is not possible to "mix and match" linking 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. If you do build your Perl as 64-bit, you will then no longer be able to link it to any 32-bit libraries (including everything in /opt/sfw/lib and any libraries that are not explicitly 64-bit) unless you build 64-bit versions of those libraries. Hope this helps.
