    Hello,

    I have successfully installed the following on a HPUX B11.0.0 running Oracle
    8.1.6.0.0.
            perl 5.8.5 (using gcc 3.4.1)
            DBI (1.20)
    I have errors attempting to install DBD (1.12) for Oracle.
    I receive fatal error "Inrecognized argument: -Wl,+s".

    I have read and tried anything suggested in the README files
    (i.e. README, README.help, README.hpux)
    including a section referencing this error which suggests editing the
    Makefile as follows
            sed 's/-Wl,+[sn]//g' (I added the global "g" option)
            sed 's/\(OTHERLDFLAGS=.*$\)/\1 -lqsmashr/'
    I believe the 2nd command is in error and shoud be "-libqsmashr".
    I tried it both ways and received the same error:
            ld: Can't find library or mismatched ABI for -lnbeq8

    Attached is a log (created using script) which contains (as requested in
    README)
            Oracle Version details
            perl -V output
            Log of steps to build
                    make realclean
                    perl Makefile.PL -v
                    make (fails with an error)
                    make test
                    make test TEST_VERBOSE=1
     <<install_DBD.script>>
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank You
