Thanks for your help Thomas, but I still havn't got DBD::Oracle to work
under Irix.
I tried compiling Perl with -64. There were so many fails during 'make
test' that I didn't try installing it.
The installed Perl was compiled with -n32 and a colleague got the Irix N32
Development Toolkit for me.
Then I was able to build DBD::Oracle without more than a few warning
messages from the C compiler. However,
'make test' fails completely, the output is at the end of this message.
I'm told that Oracle 9i has no support for Irix atall, so I think our
long-term strategy is going to be moving our applications on to Sun
hardware. Also, I have DBD::Proxy running OK, so I do have a short-term
fall-back, but I would like to get this working if I can.
