Hello list, I used the following RPMs by Oracle: oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.2.0-1 oracle-instantclient11.2-devel-11.2.0.2.0-1
Which can be downloaded from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linuxx86-64soft-092277.html Below, is the output I got. In bold are message strings I have comments on. Thanks, Installing on a linux, Ver#2.6 Using Oracle in /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64 Can't find sqlplus. Pity, it would have helped. Jess: sqlplus actually did exist on this machine but since the Oracle installation [not done via an RPM], only configures the ENV for use of the 'oracle' user, sqlplus was not in the PATH. Not much you can do about this of course.. maybe prompt for the PATH? Forcing Oracle version to be treated as 11.2.0.2 Oracle version 11.2.0.2 (11.2) Found /usr/share/oracle/11.2/client64/demo.mk Using /usr/share/oracle/11.2/client64/demo.mk Your LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var is set to ':/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib' WARNING: Your LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var doesn't include '/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib' but probably needs to. Jess: this is not strictly true. What I usually do is: # cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib In my opinion, placing the oracle.conf file under /etc/ld.so.conf.d and running ldconfig is cleaner then just adding to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in some bashrc or profile file. I'm not saying the message should be omitted altogether but perhaps changed? Reading /usr/share/oracle/11.2/client64/demo.mk WARNING: Oracle /usr/share/oracle/11.2/client64/demo.mk doesn't define a 'build' rule. WARNING: I will now try to guess how to build and link DBD::Oracle for you. This kind of guess work is very error prone and Oracle-version sensitive. It is possible that it won't be supported in future versions of DBD::Oracle. *PLEASE* notify dbi-users about exactly _why_ you had to build it this way.
