Installing Oracle Client 10g on FreeBSD

[Vladimir Terziev]

	I'm also interested of mixing native FreeBSD libraries and Linux once, if it's possible ...

	I tryed to install a DBD::Oracle module with natively build FreeBSD perl and Linux Oracle Instantclient. After some hacking of DBD::Oracle's make file, i managed to build native Oracle.so linked against Instantclient's libcltnsh.so library.

	When i tryed "use DBD::Oracle" in a perl script i got "Segmentation fault".
	I don't think it's possible to intermix native FreeBSD libraries and Linux once used by a native FreeBSD executable.
