Hi All,
    I am trying to install DBD::Oracle for the first time on Linux. I've
had experiences with Solaris, but am not as savvy in Linux. I installed the
9i client librarues for linux, confirmed connectivty by tnsping a database
on the network, set my Oracle home, sid, and path variables and try to run
perl Makefile.PL and get this:

Using DBI 1.30 installed in
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBI

 Configuring DBD::Oracle ...

>>> Remember to actually *READ* the README file!
        Especially if you have any problems.

Using Oracle in /home/harsch/OraHome1

WARNING: could not decode oracle version from
/home/harsch/OraHome1/orainst/inspdver, or
/home/harsch/OraHome1/install/unix.rgs
or from ORACLE_HOME path /home/harsch/OraHome1.
Oracle version based logic in Makefile.PL may produce erroneous results.

Found header files in rdbms/demo.

*********************************************************
I can't find the header files I need in your Oracle installation.
You probably need to install some more Oracle components.
I'll keep going, but the compile will probably fail.
See README.clients for more information.
*********************************************************

        Unable to locate an oracle.mk, proc.mk or other suitable *.mk
        file in your Oracle installation. (I looked in
        /home/harsch/OraHome1/rdbms/lib/oracle.mk
/home/harsch/OraHome1/rdbms/demo/oracle.mk
/home/harsch/OraHome1/rdbms/demo/demo_rdbms.mk
/home/harsch/OraHome1/otrace/demo/atmoci.mk
/home/harsch/OraHome1/precomp/demo/proc/proc.mk
/home/harsch/OraHome1/precomp/demo/proc/demo_proc.mk
/home/harsch/OraHome1/proc/lib/proc.mk
/home/harsch/OraHome1/proc16/lib/proc16.mk)

        The oracle.mk (or demo_rdbms.mk) file is part of the Oracle
        RDBMS product. The proc.mk (or demo_proc.mk) file is part of
        the Oracle Pro*C product. You need to build DBD::Oracle on a
        system which has one of these Oracle components installed.
        (Other *.mk files such as the env_*.mk files will not work.)

        In the unlikely event that a suitable *.mk file is installed
        somewhere non-standard you can specify where it is using the -m
option:
                perl Makefile.PL -m /path/to/your.mk

        See README.clients for more information and some alternatives.

     at Makefile.PL line 903.
