Thanks for the report, personally the Errors you are getting in the make Test would not worry me very much. They are mostly related to the very old version of the client you are using or an older unpatched Oracle DB. Most of them are trivial things dealing with Unicode and UTF8 stuff and unless you are working with a DB that deals with these issues I am fairly sure it will not cause you much grief. The last test are for some really old code that hopefully you will not be using (Oraperl) You may want to get the latest version of the Oracle instant client that might make most of the test pass. I would use the latest Trunk version of the Makefile.PL which can be found here http://svn.perl.org/modules/dbd-oracle/trunk/Makefile.PL I would just go ahead and do a make install.cheers John Scoles
Subject: Problems with DBD 1.21 build?Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2008 10:49:57 -0500From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [email protected] Attached is the output from a DBD build (I know it says dbi-build, but it’s a DBD build). There was a line in the output that said to report to this mailing list. I’m trying to build DBD-1.21 on a new Solaris 10 system. There are some failures in there I’m not sure of, especially the last one for test_dynamic, but other than that it looks ok, I would guess. I haven’t done an ‘make install’ yet. Any suggestions on this? Thanks _________________________________________________________________
