Hi.. I am a newbie trying to install DBD::Oracle on a linux box. The Oracle server is on a remote host. I read online that I would have to install the Oracle Instantclient to be able to do so. I followed the instructions on one site and did the following: made a directory 'instantclient' location: /home/ralf/instantclient 'instantclient' directory has the following files. classes12.jar libclntsh.so.10.1 libnnz10.so libocci.so.10.1 libociei.so libocijdbc10.so ojdbc14.jar genezi I made another directory 'lib' inside 'instantclient' and moved all the files into 'lib' Then i created a symbolic link to libclntsh.so by doing the following on command prompt. $ ln -s libclntsh.so.10.1 libclntsh.so Exported the ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables $ export ORACLE_HOME=/home/ralf/instantclient $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib Then I did the following: cpan> install DBD::Oracle. It failed saying: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trying to find an ORACLE_HOME Your LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var is set to '' Warning: No success on command[/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL] Running make test Make had some problems, won't test Running make install Make had some problems, won't install Failed during this command: PYTHIAN/DBD-Oracle-1.19.tar.gz : writemakefile NO '/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL' returned status 512 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks! -enzo660 On Mar 25 2004, 2:00 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Tim Bunce) wrote: > On Thu, Mar 25, 2004 at 08:10:44PM -0000, Andy Hassall wrote: > > >> No headers so obviously can't compile against just this - > > >> have to use a full Oracle home for that. > > >> Compiled DBD-Oracle svn rev. 185. against Oracle 10.1.0.2 > > > > Thanks for this info. > > > Could you please also provide the perl Makefile.PL > > > command that you used to generate the Makefile? > > > > I generate it with -F, but I had lots of errors not only related > > > to ORACLE_HOME. > > > After the make test did not work. > > > You cannot compile against theInstantClient, you must compile against a > > full Oracle home.I expect that will change soonish - I've been told they > > plan to > include header files in theinstantclient.
