Hi,
I am having a problem setting up DBD::Oracle version 1.19 on a Debian
Etch. I am running perl 5.8.8 and have dbi 1.53 (I believe) installed. I
have instantclient-basic, instantclient-devel, and sqlplus installed. I
can, without a problem, connect to my external DB Server via sqlplus. I
have ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIB path set everything works great, and I am
user root.
I have several times installed DBD::Oracle 1.19 on Debian Etch without
any problem, BUT only with a FULL Oracle client. The installer needs
x-server and I don't want an x on this server, nor do I want a full
oracle client installed.
It just won't work with the inst client.
I am a total noobie to dbi and perl so bare with me!
I have this error, and I know that there are some fixes, but they all
seem to be for older DBD:Oracle Makefiles.
Using Oracle in /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client DEFINE _SQLPLUS_RELEASE
= "1002000300" (CHAR) Oracle version 10.2.0.3 (10.2) Unable to locate an

is part of the Oracle RDBMS product. The proc.mk (or demo_proc.mk) file
is part of the Oracle Pro*C product. You need to build DBD::Oracle on a
system which has one of these Oracle components installed. (Other *.mk
files such as the env_*.mk files will not work.) Alternatively you can
use Oracle Instant Client.
I also have tried: *perl Makefile.PL -m
/usr/share/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/demo.mk*
which is the only mk file that instant client provides.
It also gives me a makefile for DBD::Oracle but install and test fail
utterly.
Can anybody point me in a direction what I should do. Any pointers to
reciepies how to get this baby working. Really appreciate your time and
effort.
Greets,
