I am trying to install Oracle perl module(DBD-Oracle). MY oracle server runs on solaris 8 while the machine am tring to install DBD-Oracle runs Suse linux 9(SLE 9)

Oracle client library including sqlplus are NFS mount on my suse linux machine from my solaris oracle server but when I run make on DBD-Oracle I get the following error message


cc: unrecognized option `-R/oraclient/product/v8.1.7/lib'

what am I doing wrough? Can you help, Please

Thanks

As far as I know, the perl mod for Oracle only works on Perl 5.6. At least this was the case for ActiveState Perl for win32. Also, you are probable better off using CPAN if possible to fetch and install your Perl Modules. Much easier.

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib//libclntsh.so when searching for -lclntsh

Could it be the extra slash in the path?

Since this original thread is SEVEN YEARS OLD, I doubt it's the same issue now. We can try to help, but you need to open your own thread for your own question, and provide details. What version/distro of Linux are you using? Version of the DBD module? How are you installing it? As root?

Did not notice the extreme age of the original post. Sorry.

I was trying to please my boss, who insisted this module could be installed with only the Oracle instantclient libraries present, and he had me install instantclient 32bit rpms. It turns out the module needs to have the Oracle XE server libraries installed before it can be compiled.

My boss' original plan was to have Oracle 10 XE 32bit server installed on his 64bit RHEL machine. It took me about a week to convince him not to do this. It even took me a few days to convince him there was no such thing as Oracle 10 XE 64bit. Oh well.

Wow...good luck with him.
