Hi. First post here. We have the Oracle instant client 10.0.2.0 installed and working fine on our s390x (aka s390 64-bit, zLinux) host. Now we want to use DBD::Oracle there, but I can't find any precompiled packages anywhere, and when we try to build it we get either
The ORACLE_HOME environment variable value (/opt/Oracle/instantclient_10_2) is not valid. which is untrue; the ORACLE_HOME is valid, as I've verified by using sqlplus from there. After faking $ORACLE_HOME/lib a bit, I get instead the dreaded Unable to locate an oracle.mk, proc.mk or other suitable *.mk file in your Oracle installation. And indeed I can't find any such files for s390(x). The instant client SDK doesn't have them, and neither does the full Oracle database product for s390 that's available for download. Has anyone gotten DBD-Oracle working on zLinux/s390? Can you point me to a precompiled package, or tell me where to find the files I seem to be missing in order to build it myself? Thanks, Andrew.
