Hi,
I have two DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so shared libraries. In one case ldd
reports that libocci is linked in, and in another case libocci doesn't
show up.
I don't know how the first version was built, but the second one was
build using:
export ORACLE_HOME=... # path the instantclient 10.2.0.4
export LB_LIBRARY_PATH="$ORACLE_HOME:"
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
(I.e., a pretty generic build)
Does anyone know how libocci gets picked up when building Oracle.so? I
am using instantclient version 10.2.0.4
Thanks,
ER
I know in the instant client the so files are all squished together into a
libclntsh.so.xx.x
file where xx.x is the version number of the client. ie
libclntsh.so.10.1 for ic 10.1
What I have to do to get DBD::Oracle to compile is create a symbolic
link to it like this
ln -s libclntsh.so.10.1 libclntsh.so
if you happen to already have a link like that in your path someplace it
could be a problem.
I have noticed on some other OS system that all the .so files are place
in a common folder one I cannot find or do not have access to in the
Makeifle.PL
you might want to look into that.
After the compile it no longer needs the link.
Hope this helps
Cheers
