Hello all, This is just a note for those of you who may have had problems installing DBD::Oracle 1.12 onto Irix-64 using a 64 bit perl, in my case perl v5.6.1. Although there's plenty of useful mail in this archive about Irix - DBI/DBD problems, there were no solutions for this specific problem.
When I built the makefile with perl5 Makefile.PL, it seemed to build fine, however, the 'make' phase continually failed during linking with the following error: ld64: FATAL 9: I/O error (echo): No such file or directory *** Error code 2 (bu21) Here's what finally worked for me. I rebuilt the makefile with the following command: perl5 Makefile.PL -nob and then I was able to finish the installation and successfully test. This is one of the recommendations found in the README.help file of the DBD documentation. Ken Ortiz Sysadmin - NOAA
