Hello,
while running a script using the DBD module:

use DBD::Oracle qw(:ora_types);

compilation fails on the above line with error message:

Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/oracle/9.2.0/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: ld.so.1: perl: fatal: libclntsh.so.9.0: open failed: No such file or directory at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 230.

However, when i go to the usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/oracle/9.2.0/auto/DBD/Oracle/ location the Oracle.so file exists (and is accesible for the applicative user). looking at the line in the Dynaloader.pm package i see there is a comment:
# Many dynamic extension loading problems will appear to come from # this section of code: XYZ failed at line 123 of DynaLoader.pm. # Often these errors are actually occurring in the initialisation # C code of the extension XS file. Perl reports the error as being # in this perl code simply because this was the last perl code # it executed.
I am not realy sure what this means. When I run the same script from a different user (with similar configuration) it compiles fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
