My first experience with Oracle8 and this had to be installed on an NT machine. I installed actiivestate DBI, activestate oracle is broken so I did it by hand folloing the instructions in http://search.cpan.org/src/PYTHIAN/DBD-Oracle-1.18a/README.win32.txt
up until the step with nmake. There I get: cl -c -ID:/Oracle/Ora81/oci/include -ID:/Oracle/Ora81/rdbms/demo -IC:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBI -nologo -Gf -W3 -MD -Zi -DNDEBUG -O1 -DWIN32 -D_CONSOLE -DNO_STRICT -DHAVE_DES_FCRYPT -DNO_HASH_SEED -DUSE_SITECUSTOMIZE -DPERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT -DPERL_IMPLICIT_SYS -DUSE_PERLIO -DPERL_MSVCRT_READFIX -MD -Zi -DNDEBUG -O1 -DVERSION=\"1.19\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.19\" "-IC:\Perl\lib\CORE" -DUTF8_SUPPORT -DORA_OCI_VERSION=\"8.1.6.0\" Oracle.c Oracle.c c1 : warning C4349: /Gf is deprecated and will not be supported in future versions of Visual C++; remove /Gf or use /GF instead C:\Perl\lib\CORE\perl.h(382) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sys/types.h': No such file or directory There are in fact several sys/types.h subdirectories and I put all of them in the path for example if sys\types.h is in D:\MSVISUALC\include then PATH has D:\MSVISUALC\include Anyone been there before?
