Help, please with getting DBD::Oracle working on Debian Linux
Message ID:

I'm having a fit getting the latest DBD::Oracle working on a fresh Debian
Linux 2.2 install.

I have installed Oracle 8i, and the ProC optional product. The DB works
fine.

The folowing steps run without error:

perl Makefile.PL ; make

The test pretty much all fail. I looked at test.pl, and it was assuming
that perl was in /usr/local/bin, whne it's actually in /usr/bin.

I made a caopy of tets.pl, adn fixed this. When I run this script, it
complains (Dynaloader) about Oracle.so not being able to find libclntsh.so.8.0
This library is present in $ORACLE_HOME/lib and hasa symlink called
libclntsh.so. I am doing all of this loged in as the Oracle user, and
$ORACLE_HOME is set in that envrionment. Also the scott/tiger accoun is
still enabled.

I desperatly need to get this working to move on with a project I am in a
time crunch on. 

What should I try next?
