Greetings

I am currently attempting to build DBD-Oracle-1.19 on an HP-UX 9000-800
with the PA-RISC 2.0 chip set, with Perl 5.8.3 configured for 64 bit,
large files, dynamic linking of shared libraries and the evil
'multi-threaded' option.

Have read much about the problems of getting DBD-Oracle libraries to
dynamically link into Perl on HP-UX including README.hpux.txt. Have
attempted to confirm our version of Perl_64 meets all the criteria.
-Ae, +Z -Duse64bitall ...
C compiler is HP's C-ANSI-C without the preferred HP Softbench suite.

Major concern: README.hpux.txt states

"Note that is important to build a non-threaded Perl, but linked with
-lcl and -lpthread. Since Oracle on HP uses libpthread, everything that
dynamically loads it (such as DBD-Oracle) must be built/linkedwith
'-lpthread -lcl' ...

A good link that explains thread local storage problems is
http://my1.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,1150,0x0d0a6d9658 8ad4118fef00
90279cd0f9!0,00.html "

The link above is gone and the README.hpux.txt file seems to be a bit
out of date. Is the 'non-threaded' requirement still in place?


The Makefile.PL failure:

I received the following error messages when running the DBD-Oracle-1.19
Makefile.PL. Note this was done using the=20
/opt/perl_64/bin/perl-dynamic version of Perl. The user running the job
has permissions into the Oracle paths, can read said files and all the
Oracle environtment variables were correctly set before running.

"WARNING: Unable to interpret Oracle build commands from
/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.8/rdbms/demo/demo_rdbms.mk.
(Will continue by using fallback approach.)
Please report this to dbi-users@perl.org. See README for what to
include.

Thank you in advance for any insight, wisdom and knowledge you can
provide.
