Re: DBD-Oracle 1.19 with Oracle Instant Client 10.2.0.3 on Debian Etch won't install

Hi John,
What are you suggesting? Currently all my Oracle inst client files are user oracle group oinstall yet lib bin and other dirs have 755 permission so root should be able to access and execute these softlibs.
As I have written, I have installed DBD::Oracle-1.19 many times with a full client without problem, yet with the limited instant client it does not find the mk file, and the one mk file (namely demo.mk) that the instant client installs does not work. So I don't think its a linker problem. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I am compiling with user root.

Any other suggestions, or how to edit the DBD::Oracle-1.19 Makefile to make it work without the .mk files?

Thanks for any help!

Toby

On thing about the instant client is that it has to make a symbolic link to compile correctly here

some thing like this

$ ln -s instantclient_10_2/libclntsh.so.10.1 libclntsh.so

If the user that is doing the compile doe not have permission to do this link then you may get a failure like this.

Hi,

I am having a problem setting up DBD::Oracle version 1.19 on a Debian
Etch. I am running perl 5.8.8 and have dbi 1.53 (I believe) installed. I
have instantclient-basic, instantclient-devel, and sqlplus installed. I
can, without a problem, connect to my external DB Server via sqlplus. I
have ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIB path set everything works great, and I am
user root.

I have several times installed DBD::Oracle 1.19 on Debian Etch without
any problem, BUT only with a FULL Oracle client. The installer needs
x-server and I don't want an x on this server, nor do I want a full
oracle client installed.

It just won't work with the inst client.

I am a total noobie to dbi and perl so bare with me!

I have this error, and I know that there are some fixes, but they all
seem to be for older DBD:Oracle Makefiles.

Using Oracle in /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client DEFINE _SQLPLUS_RELEASE

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.) Alternatively you can
use Oracle Instant Client.

I also have tried: *perl Makefile.PL -m
/usr/share/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/demo.mk*
which is the only mk file that instant client provides.

It also gives me a makefile for DBD::Oracle but install and test fail
utterly.

Can anybody point me in a direction what I should do. Any pointers to
reciepies how to get this baby working. Really appreciate your time and
effort.

Greets,
