I am trying to install the DBD::Oracle-1.14 module.  I'm stuck.

Specifics:

- DBD::Oracle-1.14

- perl, version 5.005_03 built for sun4-solaris

- Oracle software: Oracle8i Enterprise Edition, Release 8.1.5.0.0 for
Sun SPARC Solaris 8.  I've installed the "Client" and "Programmer
Toools," specifically including the SQL*NET and C tools on the latter
(however they are spelled).

The Problem:

Part of my research involved tracking down this message from Google
(sorry, don't have a date or list):

For my compilation of DBD-Oracle/Solaris2.5/Oracle7.2.x(x=2, I think), I
just pulled the required files in the rdbms directory from the Oracle CD.
The files I needed were:

$ ls -lR
drwxr-xr-x   2 oracle   apbr         512 May 15 17:43 demo/
drwxr-xr-x   2 oracle   apbr         512 May 15 16:20 lib/
drwxr-xr-x   2 oracle   apbr         512 May 15 16:18 mesg/
drwxr-xr-x   2 oracle   apbr         512 May 15 17:38 public/

This looks like a reasonable list and seems to roughly correspond to what
the DBD::Oracle make process is looking for.

However, after installing the Oracle stuff, I have this list of .h files:

-rw-r--r--   1 finseth  staff        964 Jan  2  1999 sqlucs2.h
..............................

Note that none of the above mentioned .h files are included.  For that
matter, no rdbms/demo directory was installed at all.

Can anyone clue me in to what I am doing wrong?
