RE: DBD Oracle module



Thanks for the reply. The Oracle client libraries are installed at the
same location on all of our servers (Solaris 2.6 and 2.8). I believe
the problem is with the configuration and/or installation procedure and
that's why the libraries are not found on Solaris 2.6 (and so we set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH) but are found on Solaris 2.8 as they should be (without
setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH). The computing team believes they have the
proper installation, but I don't understand why we have this issue only
on Solaris 2.6 if the installation is correct.

---------------------------

Is this related and if so do you have some advice or guidance I can
share with our computing team that can get this resolved so our
customers don't have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to use our tool and we
don't
have to develop a wrapper for it?

If you don't control where the customer is going to install
Oracle's client libraries, then its impossible to a priori set the
runtime link path for DBD::Oracle's Oracle.so.

With Oracle Instant Client and Solaris 7 and newer, you might be
able to use $ORIGIN.
