I can connect to the database using sqlplus as user oracle, but not as root.
I can compile DBD::Oracle but not complete the test. I tried to set variables properly: ORACLE_HOME=/u/oracle/10.2.0 ORACLE_HOST=hostname ORACLE_PORT=1522 ORACLE_SID=databasename ORACLE_USERID=user/passw...@databasename PATH=/u/oracle/10.2.0/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin PWD=/usr/src/pub/dbd-oracle/DBD-Oracle-1.22 TNS_ADMIN=/u/oracle/10.2.0/network/admin TWO_TASK=T:hostname:ORACLE_SID The machine has a medium sized production Oracle 10g database which works fine with a Java application. The # perl Makefile.PL appears to work and the make appears to work I have a user name/password which permits read-only access to the database which I have verified as user oracle. I would appreciate any help, Jeff
