oraperl wont compile

hi there. im trying to compile oraperl-v2.4 on my alpha, running digital unix 3.2. however, when i compile i get the following error messages:
ld:
Unresolved:
init_oracle
debug
lcnulserc
sslcsig
lcmlcomp
lcslcomp
ldxini
sldxgd

and so on. symbols that are in the included libraries. strangely, all the required libraries are in place, in the proper directory. i am able to minimize the unresolved symbols problem by using
-L/absolute/path/to/library.a instead of $(blabla), nevertheless some errors
remain (again, all libraries are in place).

any ideas and help would be really appreciated...

regards,

+bl.
