Hi Charles,

I had the client, plus programmer and OCI installed, but still no joy so
ended up installing rdbms.

I can't answer for Red Hat. I am using Solaris. I have DBD::Oracle and
Oracle::OCI workign on a systme which does not have RDBMS installed.
It only has Oracle 9i client installed. The default clinet install does
not install enough - it does not installe the OCI header files. You
need to do a custom install and install at least

   Oracle Call Interfaces

You may need also

   Oracle Programmer

I am not sure about the latter. I installed it for other reasons.
