you probably need to install clntsh, or maybe lclntsh

on debian, apt-cache search lib, apt-get whatever.

after you've installed it, it may just work.

or, you may need to edit /etc/ld.so.conf.

For more on this voodoo, see quick way to add a line to a file, if it's not already present (automating tweaking of /etc/ld.so.conf for installing Image::Magick)

this is about a problem I had with image::Magick, but I had the same kinds of "missing so file" stuff with mysql and oracle. bah.

see especially the "tip" I give at the end of the file, via a shell echo to the user, in case the install file somehow didn't do what it was supposed to.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
