Re: DBD module install errors

Just a note Oracle in its wisdom has I think dropped the proc.mk from 11

playing with proc.

I wish I had an AIX box with 11g on it and I would be able to get a fix 
in there perhaps.

Right now I am of the opinion that the user that is trying the install 
does not have full execute permission to the .mk files or AIX has hidden 
them someplace else where the makefile cannot find them
