hi
i'm compiling DBD::Oracle on Red Hat Linux 8.0 and HP-UX 11.00 against
Oracle9iR2 client libraries. the compilation process goes without
problems but the resulting DBD::Oracle library gets linked against
libraries in the wrong path. Oracle9i libraries are installed under
/opt/oracle9i but linked in /opt/kronodoc and the ORACLE_HOME is set to
/opt/kronodoc/oracle9i/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0 during DBD::Oracle
compilation. the resulting DBD::Oracle library is linked against the
libwtc9.so library in the wrong path according to ldd:

how can i link DBD::Oracle against the Oracle libraries in
/opt/kronodoc/oracle9i, not /opt/oracle9i?
In short, you can't. This is not a problem specific to DBD::Oracle.
It applies to all programs linked to Oracle 9i client libraries.
What has happened is that the name /opt/oracle9i has been bound
into the run-time path of the Oracle libraries themselves. This
binding took place at install time. (This is why some Oracle
documentation says that soft links to ORACLE_HOME directories
are not supported).
This may be better with the Oracle 10g "Instant Client", but I
haven't checked yet.
