Re: Problem installing DBD::Oracle

[John Scoles]

I would go and get a copy of the instant client and compile DBD.Oracle against that. It will still connect to any Oracle DB down to 8  and maybe even 7.  I will pull your hair out trying to find little bits and pieces of a 9 client.

But I am not able to install DBD-Oracle-1.16 or DBD-Oracle-1.15. It is giving the following error.     Unable to find required Oracle OCI files for the build.  Please check That you have your OCI installed in your oracle home (C:/oracle/ora92) Directory and that it has the following files (and probably more):     C:/oracle/ora92\oci\include\oratypes.h   C:/oracle/ora92\oci\lib\MSVC\.lib   Please install OCI or send comments back to dbi-users@perl.org if you have an OCI directory other than oci.     I’ve checked in oci directory also. There is only one file oramts.h in oci\include directory and oramts.lib in oci\lib\msvc directory. I searched for oratypes.h file and pasted it to C:/oracle/ora92\oci\include\ but again it is giving the same error.    Thanks & Regards, Himanshu Kumar Gaur HCL Comnet Ltd.
