Subject: Not compiling with enough lib parameters
Hi, I noticed that DBD::Oracle is not linking with "-lnnz10 -lz". Without it, when it links, it will not compile in suggested library paths from LD_RUN_PATH. As a result, ldd does on the so file does not come back with paths to these files. As a result, one is forced to populate LD_LIBRARY_PATH or DBD::Oracle will not work. My suggestion is: 1. Do not override LD_RUN_PATH, but rather append to it. This allows people to link to their zlib, etc. 2. Add "-lnnz10 -lz" to the link command so LD_RUN_PATH finds these. Thanks,

I appreciate this is a 3 year old issue now and no one looked at it - sorry. I am in a position to look at it. I'm expecting this is so old you won't care any more. If you still want to persue it let me know otherwise I'll close this issue. Martin -- Martin J. Evans Wetherby, UK

I no longer have a vested interest in Oracle. Feel free to close.
