"ORA_PROGINT_INCL" = "ora_root:[precomp.public]" And I agree, the location of the above mentioned h-file must be located and included in the /Include... By the way, on the dbi-oracle maillist i found that a newer version of dbd-oracle is being prepared, apparently with support for oracle9. I have already gotten it, but as yet without better success. What I intend to do is to start completely over, and document steps needed to get as far as i have already gotten.
