Hi,

I encountered a similar problem as Beth's one while trying to compile v1.16 of DBD-Oracle module and as you answered, adding -lextp at the appropiate place into the Makefile resolves the problem.
Now my question is, is there a way to explicitly specify during the Makefile creation (perl Makefile.PL [opts ...]) that you need this flag ?
I tried perl Makefile.PL LIBS="-lextp" and many other ways, but none of them do it.

Thanks in advance,
Bertrand

With DBD-Oracle-1.16 and 8.0.6.3 under Solaris, the OCILobWriteAppend
symbol not found symbol error is resolved, but introduces a new missing
symbol, ociepgoe.

$ /opt/perl-5.8.5/bin/perl Makefile.PL -s ociepgoe
[snipped]
  searching oracle lib/libextp.a ...
[5] | 390| 103|FUNC |GLOB |0 |1 |ociepgoe
[snipped]

Adding -lextp to the link command for blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so
resolves that missing symbol.

Happy Perl hacking,
John
