# DBD::Oracle::Troubleshooting::Sun(3pm)

Tips and Hints to Troubleshoot DBD::Oracle on Sun

## NAME

DBD::Oracle::Troubleshooting::Sun - Tips and Hints to Troubleshoot DBD::Oracle on Sun

## VERSION

version 1.83

## General Info

If you get this on a Solaris 9 and 10 box

```
  "Outofmemory!
   Callback called exit.
   END failed--call queue aborted."
```

The solution may be as simple as not having you "ORACLE\_HOME" Defined in the environment.

It seems that having it defined will prevent the error.

## Setting library load path for instant client libraries

Usually you set LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH to point to the location of your Oracle Instant Client (you need to do this when building DBD::Oracle). However, afterwards it can be a pain to keep ensuring this is set and changing LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH in your Perl script does not work (needs to be done beforehand) as the dynamic linker caches its value.

An alternative under newer versions of Solaris is:

root\>  crle -u -l /youroracledir/lib/instantclient\_11\_2

however, make sure you check the crle options as you may need to set the architecture etc as well.
