.so file question

[mbaranski]

I have a perl program that is linked into the Oracle.so file. I'm using perl2exe (

http://www.indigostar.com)

to compile it (I'm not real impressed, if anyone is wondering) and it compiles Oracle.so into the executable.

On the client machine that is running the binary, it still gives an error that Oracle.so cannot be loaded, even though it is compiled into the binary.

I think that the Oracle.so links into some other libs on the development machine that are not present on the client machine. Is there a command I can run on Oracle.so to see which external files that it may link to? The idea here is to install as little as possible on the client machine.

Right now, to get this 400 line Oracle client to run, you have to insall just under 400 megs of software. I need to find out what Oracle.so depends on.

Thanks

Try #ldd Oracle.so which may list all librarys it needs.

Hope this helps you!
