RE: DBD::Oracle with Oracle client on Redhat Linux 7.1

Look at installing DBD::Oracle8 and see if this clears the problem up.
Oracle changed some standards recently that regular DBD::Oracle got lost in.

I installed Oracle Client Administrator from the Oracle.com download 
(Oracle 9i) and it seems to have installed correctly.

However, when I try to install DBD::Oracle I get the following error:

  "The ORACLE_HOME environment variable must be set.
   It must be set to hold the path to an Oracle installation directory
   on this machine (or a machine with a compatible architecture).
   See the README.clients file for more information.
   ABORTED!"


How do I set the "ORACLE_HOME environment variable"??

I did read the "README.clients" file and it didn't really seem to apply to 
my situation.

Thanks,

Phil
