The error message is from a safety mechanism used by perl extensions. They check that the version of the .pm file matches the version of the shared object file. If there was a mismatch there would be a risk of very obscure errors. > ""Shaw, Gary"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Hi there, > > Has anyone seen this message before? > > install_driver(Oracle) failed: DBD::Oracle object version 1.16 does not > match bootstrap parameter 1.06 at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 253. > > If so do you know how to fix it?

Generally it's caused by people trying to install DBD::Oracle by hand or rearranging the lib directory tree, or altering @INC in odd ways. Try reinstalling using the documented procedures.
