I've encountered an error while trying to install the DBD for Oracle.
On our system, we presently need to retain Perl version 5.003 in the
standard directory placements. In order to make use of DBI and the
Oracle DBD possible, I've (apparently successfully) installed Perl
version 5.6.1 using a PREFIX value of:
/export/home/udv/r80755/perl
I then (also, apparently successfully) installed DBI-1.20 , doing the
decompress and unpack from this same directory. I did NOT use a
-DPREFIX parameter when running the Makefile.PL to do this installation,
but I DID run the Makefile using the 5.6.1 version of Perl. The
make test results following this installation showed no problems.
I've subsequently tried to install DBD-Oracle-1.12 two different ways,
neither of which succeeded; both failed with the same diagnostic:
Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC ...
I did NOT use a -DPREFIX parameter for either Makefile.PL installation
run. The difference between the two installation attempts was that
the first was based in:
/export/home/udv/a70411/perl/bin/perl
and the second in:
/export/home/udv/a70411/perl/bin/perl/DBI-1.20
The reason I tried the second type of installation was that there is a
file /export/home/udv/a70411/perl/bin/perl/DBI-1.20/DBI.pm present, and
there are 3 other DBI.pm files in subdirectories of that directory.
The session log is reproduced below, with the scene of the crime set off
by the insertion of some comment lines. Note: 's' is a local utility
script that shows subdirectories of the current directory between a pair
of border lines; these border lines show the current directory. 's' can
also cd to a new directory.
Note: The session log is from the 2nd installation attempt.
----------------My inquiry is twofold:---------------------
Should I install the DBD as a sibling of the DBI (in the same directory),
or should I install it as a child of the DBD (in the DBI-1.20 subdirectory)?
How can I solve the problem of the missing DBI.pm ?
-----------------------------------------------------------
I will give thanks in advance for any help.
