Ok as that part of the README.win32.txt is for 10g installs I do not think it should be changed as the number of permitaions with clients and versions would make it too long. > Unable to find required Oracle OCI files for the build.

How were you installing Oracle 9, which version or Oracle 9 client did you use and which version of DBD:Oracle. I need this to recreate the problem then document it properly. Or if you want write it up youself and I will then add it to the README.win32.txt file for you. Cheers John Scoles
