Re: DBD::Oracle for Oracle instant client

Dear Tim,

I've just downloaded and tested the Oracle 10 Instant
client software, including SQL*Plus. This appears to
work well, with ORACLE_HOME, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH
settings. However when I try execute : 'install
DBD::Oracle' this is what I get: 

  The ORACLE_HOME environment variable value
(/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.1) is not valid.
  It must be set to hold the path to an Oracle
installation directory
  on this machine (or a machine with a compatible
architecture)
  See the README.clients file for more information.
  ABORTED!
Running make test
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't

Running make install

export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.1/client
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin

Set  and move ../network down into the client directory.

you've got ORACLE_HOME pointing too high in the directory structure for your layout
