Hi John, I am using Oracle 10g client, so I infer that I need to compile DBD:Oracle with Oracle 10g client. But to compile DBD:Oracle with Oracle 10g client, do I need to start to compile Perl 5.6.1 again? If so can I use PPM to install Perl. Is PPM available for HP-UX.
Please could you suggest me HP-UX Perl 5 mailing lists?

If you have changed your Oracle client to 10g or instantclient then you will have to recompile your DBD::Oracle but there is no need to recompile DBI unless it is a very old version. If that is the case I would use PPM to get the latest version of DBI rather than compile it myself. ----- Original Message ----- From: "rajarathnam, devaraj" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 9:31 AM Subject: OCI Initialize failed 1804r Hi, I have a perl 5.6.1 installation with DBI and DBD:Oracle with Oracle 9i When I try to run a script to make a connection with Oracle 10g using the above Perl executable, I get the error Unable to initialize OCI, OCI Initialize failed 1804. Do I need to compile Perl, DBI and DBD with Oracle 10g to solve this problem. Kindly let me know. Thanks and Regards, Devaraj
