To save a build, I tarred the *good* (pre-install) build area
for DBD-Oracle on one host, then untarred it on 'ourdbserver02',
and ran a 'make install' which ran cleanly; but the
module fails to work.

GOAL: uninstall DBD::Oracle safely/cleanly on 'ourdbserver02'.

What is wrong w/deleting the list of files given by
'make uninstall' ( and deleting resulting empty dirs )?

Additionally I would manually edit:

/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.8/aix-thread-multi/perllocal.pod

Am I missing anything?

--
thanks/regards,

Define "Fails to work". Logs? Error messages? Test scripts? How does
it fail (can't connect, hangs, seg faults, tells you to sod off)?

A coworker run the below test:

/home/users/jdoe> chk_db_connection.pl
install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load '/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/aix-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: Could not load module /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/aix-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so.
Dependent module libclntsh.so could not be loaded.
Could not load module libclntsh.so.

Oracle.o is in the good build tree:

# ourdbserver02 txr6 $ cd /usr/local/src/perl/alt/DBD-Oracle-1.44
# 19:46:43 Sun 120520 0j 1 39977124 /usr/local/src/perl/alt/DBD-Oracle-1.44
# ourdbserver02 txr6 $ ls -l *.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 96867 May 10 09:46 Oracle.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 150267 May 10 09:46 dbdimp.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 147053 May 10 09:46 oci8.o

--
On the host where the build, the 'make test', the install, and the real world
use of DBD::Oracle all worked, Oracle.o is also *not* in:

/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/aix-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Oracle

Take a look:

# 19:48:36 Sun 120520 0j 3 7536878 /usr/local/src/perl/DBD-Oracle-1.44
# ourappserver02 txr6 $ find /usr/opt/perl5 -name Oracle.o
/usr/opt/perl5/build/DBD-Oracle-1.44/Oracle.o
--snip
# 19:55:08 Sun 120520 0j 1 39977124 ~
# ourdbserver02 txr6 $ find /usr/opt/perl5 -name Oracle.o
# 19:55:13 Sun 120520 0j 1 39977124 ~
# ourdbserver02 txr6 $

So, at the very least ourdbserver02 is missing Oracle.o. I suppose I could
manually copy it in, but what else might be missing?

In addition, there is the 'libclntsh.so' issue..

###
Keep in mind, I what to learn how to do the uninstall, that is my goal.

I have no experience with AIX, but I've done something similar on
Linux onec. If I remember correctly, libclntsh.so it the only .so
file you need, but you also need a number of data files. Without
the data files, you'll get a crypric error code (which means that
it can't find your character encoding), followed by another cryptic
error code (which means that it can't find the error messages either).

If AIX has something like strace or truss, you can use that to
find out which files it is trying to open, and copy those.

Last time I looked, the Instant Client could be downloaded for free
from Oracle.com.

Hope this helps,

Sorry, I mis-read Oracle.so as Oracle.o!

thanks much Ben.
