Yes, use the 32-bit oracle libraries. I will forward a previous post on this issue.

I'm now trying to build DBD::Oracle on a new AIX 5.1 machine from scratch: Perl 5.8.0 built with xlc_r With this perl, DBI builds and install just fine. The DBD::Oracle build process stops with a "XCOFF64 files are not allowed in 32-bit mode". This has to do with the fact that the OCI interface is 64bit and libraries like crt0_64.o are included in the DBD::Oracle build. The problem is, if I build Perl with -Dcc=xlc_r and -q64 (to force 64 bits), I get a problem with integer size conversions under DBI, and DBI does not build correctly. Can anyone point at the 'right' combination of Perl build parameters to enable using DBD::Oracle under AIX 5.1 with Oracle 9.2? Rafael Caceres
