I'm not aware anyone has compiled --with-module=oracle under Sun, but
there's no reason why it should not work.  I developed the module
under Debian Linux and Oracle 8.1.7.  (You need at least 8.0.5 to use
the module).

Do you mean (a) you get a core dump during the compilation, or (b) a
core dump when you are running CLISP compiled from source?  I'm
guessing (b).

What version of CLISP are you compiling?  Early versions of the Oracle
module had bugs, and also relied on parts of the CLISP FFI interface
that had bugs.  But these have since been fixed.

If you've got the lastest CVS snapshot, it really should work.  If
not, consider using using the CVS snapshot as your source base.  In
any case I would be happy to help you make it work.

If you want to use a stable CLISP codebase (e.g. 2.30) it may work to
just drop in the latest source for the Oracle module -- I can email
you a tarball -- and recompile.
