Re^4: Giving LDFLAGS to a module which has no configure

in reply to Re^3: Giving LDFLAGS to a module which has no configure
in thread Giving LDFLAGS to a module which has no configure

The source of the problem is this (I think): I've installed the InstantClient SDK in a very different place than $ORACLE_HOME or anything like it. I've created the Makefile thus:

perl Makefile.PL CCFLAGS="-I/usr/include/oracle/11.2/client64" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib -R/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib"

(Note that I have not told the Makefile anything about /usr/share/oracle/11.2/client64 or /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/bin. I'm not sure why I should, based on their contents, but I mention it for completeness.)

Here's what's happening (with much repetition that I haven't edited out--when your eyes glaze over, skip forward) when I try to make DBD::Oracle:
