Hi,
I have been trying to DBI->connect(dbi:Oracle ...) for several
weeks now and still unable to make the connection. I am running Oracle
8.0.5 on a Linux 2.2.14-5.0 (RedHat 6.2) server. I can ODBC into Oracle
from a client w/ no problem. I can DBI->connect(dbi:MySql ...) w/ no
problem. But when I try to DBI->connect to Oracle I get the message
that it can't load
'/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so'
and that the following does not exist
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux/DynaLoader.pm
Both of these do exist and seem to have the correct permissions.
When I ran the DBD-Oracle-1.06 install everything seemed fine
until I got to the 'make test'. There it failed because it couldn't
locate the listener. However, the listener was up and running which I
could easily verify. Additionally, and this might be related, (I'm not
sure) I am unable to sql+ from the server. No problem from the client.
There seems to be a bug w/ the 8.0.5v of Oracle which prohibits this in
Linux (Oracle is checking on it now).
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank
you.
