in reply to Re^2: DBD::Oracle charsetid symbol error
in thread DBD::Oracle charsetid symbol error

If I intentionally mess up LD_LIBRARY_PATH it dies differently since it can't find the lib.

Well, resolving symbols kind of happens make-ing/building/compiling at linking/linker time , so if the symbol was missing before DBD/Oracle.so was created, Oracle.so wouldn't have been created

That Oracle.so now isn't being loaded because of a missing symbol says that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is wrong
