I am running FreeBSD 4.3
I am running Oracle 8i (Linux client only...no full DB)
I am running Perl 5.6.1
I installed libwww-perl-5.53_97
I installed libnet-1.0704
I installed /cdrom/packages/linux_base
I installed DBI-1.20
I am trying to install DBD::Oracle-1.12

# kldstat
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1    3 0xc0100000 224ce4   kernel
 2    1 0xc1ffc000 19000    usb.ko
 3    1 0xc2020000 12000    linux.ko


SQLPlus works fine with the Linux oracle client...and am able to contact the
listener on the oracle server.  We have tested perl and it seems to work
fine.
DBI installed without a hitch.  I am getting really beat up trying to get
DBD::Oracle to install however.

If I do a make I get:

/usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -ldl
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/local/src/DBD-Oracle-1.12.

Even if I comment out every occurance of '-ldl' that I can find in the
makefile I still get complaints during complilation that it is missing.  I
removed it in mk.pm and still get complaints.  

if I do a 'perl Makefile.PL -nob' or the other suggested build techniques I
get core dumps whenever I try to use Perl that uses oracle.

Does anyone have experience with this...or can at least point me out to
whether the problem lies in the oracle client or in the perl install missing
libraries or in the DBD::Oracle install on FreeBSD when a Linux emulator is
involved...thanks in advance for saving my sanity.

Please tell me if I have not given enough information to clarify something
for you.
