Sorry to tell you this Long, but the reason you are
having this problem is that you compiled Perl by setting
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib.
This shouldn't be done. It should be compiled *without* setting
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, other than for Oracle software. I saw that you
did this in a previous post, thought you'd discover it pretty
quick. :)
You will have to recompile Perl to fix this. I don't recall which
option in the configuration you set the libraries at, as it's been
a few months since I've had to do it.
You can read more about the evils of LD_LIBRARY_PATH at
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~barr/ldpath.html
We're stuck with it for Oracle though.
