Hello,
I wan't to install the DBD::Oracle package on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
I've installed a Oracle 10gR2 database (not the client) which is running
well.
Everytime I wan't to install the package I got the message:

Remember to actually *READ* the README file! Especially if you have any
problems.
Trying to find an ORACLE_HOME
Your LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var is set to ''
The ORACLE_HOME environment variable is not set and I couldn't guess
it.
It must be set to hold the path to an Oracle installation directory
on this machine (or a machine with a compatible architecture).
See the appropriate README file for your OS for more information.
ABORTED!
Running make test
Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install

The ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set for user administrator (root
priviliges) and oracle user.
But It seems the installer doesn't find it anyway. For what user do I have
to execute the cpan programm to fetch the environment variables and get
access to the oracle directories?
Thx
Ben
