James,

I just installed DBD::Oracle today on Solaris 7 with perl 5.6.0 and DBI-1.14

Perhaps, the make test is failing because you haven't added the following to your
.cshrc file:
setenv ORACLE_USERID usr/pwd

I also encountered a problem when using an older version of gcc that doesn't support
the -fno-strict-aliasing option.

Here's what I did:
vi Makefile

Search for -fno-strict-aliasing, then delete it, so the line now is:
CCFLAGS = -I/usr/local/include -I/opt/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

Hope this helps,
Mike
