</lurk> this worked nicely for me...
i added /usr/oracle/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and then ran ldconfig
so now most of 'make test' works for cpan's "DBD::Oracle" on my
potato system. it gets stuck in the test.pl &test2() area which
is connect/open/close/disconnect rigor testing, but it seems to
work in standard perl code now...
hope this worked for you, too, stan! thanks, oliver!
(no way in hell i ever woulda found out about this on my own. i
was almost ready to give up!)
