Re: DBD::Oracle install fail

I'm far from an expert in these matters, but "undefined symbol: kgefac_" seems to point towards bad linking, for example if you are loading the wrong .so file (more specifically: an older version).

Perhaps it's as simple as properly setting some environment variables so the Oracle stuff can load the proper client library.

It seems the linking may be good.

[kpiadmin@lsp1app124 /opt/oracle/product/10g/lib]$ objdump -t libclnts
+h.so.10.1 | grep kgefac_
00d23a20 g     O .rodata        00000004              kgefac_

Mmm, that's not what I mean.

I presume there are 2 "DLL"s for Oracle: one from Oracle itself with the client libraries, and the Perl compiled XS file, which is a glue file, for the most part.

I think that, while your compiled XS file may be fine, that it and the client DLL are not compatible.
