Well, it occurred to me that dbi-users@xxxxxxxx is actually a mailing
list. I googled and found some postings by you (Tim) about a patch to
Makefile.pl in the thread
http://groups.google.com/group/perl.dbi.users/browse_thread/thread/f4c50c67f7dccfd9/08b3acd637ac2001?q=oracle+xe&rnum=1#08b3acd637ac2001
I applied the patches, but got an error in the output:
------------------------------
Using Oracle in /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
DEFINE _SQLPLUS_RELEASE = "1002000100" (CHAR)
Oracle version 10.2.0.1 (10.2)
Looks like Oracle XE
Reading /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/rdbms/demo/demo_xe.mk
ERROR parsing /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/rdbms/demo/demo_xe.mk:
Unable to determine what to link with.
---------------------------------
Undaunted, I poked around in Makefile.PL and the file demo_xe.mk, and
figured I could get things to work if I just hard-coded the use of
LIBCLNTSH:
---------------------------------
$linkvia = '$(LIBCLNTSH)' if !$linkvia && $MK{LIBCLNTSH};
## EDB. Force linkvia to use LIBCLNTSH
$linkvia = '$(LIBCLNTSH)';
## END EDB
# The oracle.mk file tends to define OCILDLIBS
$linkvia = '$(OCILDLIBS)' if !$linkvia && $MK{OCILDLIBS};
---------------------------------
This ended up doing the trick.
Apologies for not searching more thoroughly before sending my last mail.
(By the way, my platform is Linux Mandrake 10.1 on x86).
Thanks,
