Re: Installing Oracle Client 10g on FreeBSD
No irony, i was serious! According to my experience, Boris is right, that's way i was serious. Using flash plugin with native Firefox is based on flashplugin-wrapper. As i know there is no such wrapper for Oracle Linux instantclient, that's way i'm interested to know a new solution, if any.

Well, as I've already had linux compatibility present in the system, I've installed instantclient for linux and built DBD::Oracle. Currently I have it uninstalled as it is no longer needed for me, but I can try it and provide with instructions. DBD::Oracle was being used by CMS system of my previous employer, and that CMS was based on native perl stuff, not linux perl stuff.

But my database support person tells me that's quite old and, in fact, he couldn't be sure it would work (especially the encryption part) with the Oracle database I'd be using (which he helps support). And I was getting some strange symptoms when I tested it. So, he recommended that I download the Oracle 10g Client for Linux. Since my FreeBSD system is configured for Linux compatibility, I'm hoping this will work. However, I can't even get the Installer to complete! It keeps telling me that I may not have enough space in my root partition, even though I'm not trying to install into the root partition. (The partition in which I'm installing has lots of space). In addition, I should say that the machine on which this Oracle client will be installed is not running X Windows. This means I can't use the installation menus, so I've been running the Installation tool with a 'response file'. The response file, however, doesn't have much flexibility. In particular, when I'm told I may not have enough space, it asks me if I want to continue, but there's no way for me to reply 'yes' from the response file. In any case, based on the installation logs, it really looks like the Installation tool is looking at the root partition for how much space is available. I've found in the FreeBSD handbook an article on installing Oracle 8.0. But it appears that there have been changes with 10g. Also, those instructions seem to assume a server install, so they talk about setting some shared memory values and other things that may not apply to me anyway. Do I have any other options? I don't want to install the full Oracle package (client and server), just the client, so that I can write some perl scripts to query a remote Oracle database. Any suggestions? Thanks.
