The DBD::Oracle module requires some things to build which are not included in the client version (it generates code using certain headers and example files which are part of the full install). Note that these files are only required to compile it. Running it should only require libclntsh.so and the usual oracle networking which is present if you can connect via sqlplus.
You have two options: 1.) Grab a binary from somewhere 2.) compile it on a box with these other components (perhaps your rdbms server?) and then copy it to the app server box. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim Spath [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 20 July 2004 16:24 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Oracle 10.1.0.2, RedHat AS, and DBD::Oracle > > We got a fancy new RedHat AS server here at work, and our Sys > Admin installed the Oracle 10.1.0.2 client on it (although > the Oracle server is running version "Oracle8i Release > 8.1.7.4.0").
