statically linking will only fix part of the problem.

Your environment is almost certainly not at all setup when you are being executed. I don't know exactly what you mean "is being invoked from sendmail" but you are probably being run in an environment without a LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ORACLE_HOME, and ORACLE_SID.

to statically link, you can look at $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/oracle.mk. If you run:

$ make -f oracle.mk cdemo1

that'll statically link the first demo.

But again, you'll have to get the environment setup right. You might consider having sendmail run a shell script that sets up the right environment and then exec's your program.
