Re: dbi-users@perl.org



From my experience with recent (Java-based) Oracle client installations on Windows: The Oracle installer does not install all libraries needed for DBD::Oracle. Oracle's own tools work fine without them, but DBD::Oracle doesn't. As a crude workaround, I told my co-workers to install (NOT TO USE!) the Oracle ODBC drivers. As a side effect of that, the required libraries are installed.

Dear folks,

I have a question for you here. I just installed DBI
and Oracle DBD module. I tried a test script but got
the following errors:

install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load
'/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so'
for module DBD::Oracle: libclntsh.so.9.0: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm
line 230. at (eval 3) line 3
Compilation failed in require at (eval 3) line 3.
Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't
installed where expected
at lsun.pl line 7

Does anyone know what is wrong? I could login to the
database using sqlplus username/password@sid

Thanks,

Lihong
