This is because your attempting to build in a 32 bit Perl against a 64bit oracle install. Here's the solution form Stephen Clouse:
"The best solution is to edit the Makefile generated by Makefile.PL and change all references to ORACLE_HOME/lib to ORACLE_HOME/lib32. This will get it to use the 32-bit Oracle libraries instead."

Also know if I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the Oracle lib32 libraries it will work, howver I prefer "make" to use the 64 Bit version. Does anyone know what causes this problem ? Cheers.
