Hi all,

you get
ld: fatal: file /oracle/P14/920_64/lib//libclntsh.so: wrong ELF class:
ELFCLASS64
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to
blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so
when you try to install DBD::Oracle (32bit Perl) on a 64bit Oracle.

This was discussed erlier. Our system group found a handy solution (after a
few days and lots of swearing):
1. change in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk:
LIBDIR=lib --> LIBDIR=lib32
2. after 'perl Makefile.PL' delete in Makefile the '-o build' option (only
required for Oracle 9.2.0; no changes required for 8.1.7; at least in our
installations)
3. after the installation remember to reset your env_rdbms.mk:
LIBDIR=lib32 --> LIBDIR=lib

Hope this may help,
