I am trying to get the DBD::Oracle module compile, but it keeps complaining about OCI
directory not found.
I am using Perl 5.8.0, downloaded the latest DBI as of yesterday, this one compiled
and tested OK, but using Oracle client 9.2, I couldn't get the DBD compile.
I am not admin of the WinXP machine I am working on, therfore I need to know what to
ask for to get it installed. It does not appear in any README I have read so far.
Thanks in advance.
$ perl Makefile.PL -v
Using DBI 1.38 installed in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int/au

>>> Remember to actually *READ* the README file!
Especially if you have any problems.
Using Oracle in /cygdrive/d/oracle/ora92/
WARNING: could not decode oracle version from
/cygdrive/d/oracle/ora92//orainst/inspdver, or /cygdrive/d/oracle/ora92//install
/unix.rgs
or from ORACLE_HOME path /cygdrive/d/oracle/ora92/.
Oracle version based logic in Makefile.PL may produce erroneous results.
Found header files in rdbms/demo.
*********************************************************
I can't find the header files I need in your Oracle installation.
You probably need to install some more Oracle components.
I'll keep going, but the compile will probably fail.
See README.clients for more information.
*********************************************************
OCI directory not found, please install OCI in /cygdrive/d/oracle/ora92/ at Make
file.PL line 227.
