Re: Install of DBD::Oracle on RHEL 4 (Oracle 10g R1)

I just discovered the solution to my problem:

The environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH was not set. It needs to be
set so that the shared libraries provided by Oracle can be loaded. I
set it to $ORACLE_HOME/bin and everything was fine. I'm not sure
whether this needs to be documented somewhere; maybe it was included in
the install docs from Oracle and I missed it somehow.
