Hello. When I install the DBD-Oracle-1.12, I meet some problems with t/long.t when "make test", I meet such errors.
Unable to create test table for 'CLOB' data (3113). Tests skipped. Unable to create test table for 'BLOB' data (3114). Tests skipped. # failed test 141 at line 86. lob_locator false # failed test 142 at line 87. # failed test 143 at line 88. lob_locator deref ptr false Some tests for LONG data type handling failed. These are generally Oracle bugs. Please report this to the dbi-users mailing list, and include the Oracle version number of both the client and the server. Please also include the output of the 'perl -V' command. (If you can, please study t/long.t to investigate the cause. Feel free to edit the tests to see what's happening in more detail. Especially by adding trace() calls around the failing tests. Run the tests manually using the command "perl -Mblib t/long.t") Meanwhile, if the other tests have passed you can use DBD::Oracle. I am using the oracle8.1.6 for linux(Standard Edition). and the output of "perl -V " is: Summary of my perl5 (revision 5.0 version 6 subversion 1) configuration: Platform: osname=linux, osvers=2.2.14-6, archname=i686-linux uname='linux oracle 2.2.14-6 #5 thu mar 8 15:52:04 cet 2001 i686 unknown ' config_args='-de' hint=recommended, useposix=true, d_sigaction=define usethreads=undef use5005threads=undef useithreads=undef usemultiplicity=unde f useperlio=undef d_sfio=undef uselargefiles=define usesocks=undef use64bitint=undef use64bitall=undef uselongdouble=undef Compiler: cc='cc', ccflags ='-fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SO URCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64', optimize='-O2', cppflags='-fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include' ccversion='', gccversion='egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)', gccosandvers='' intsize=4, longsize=4, ptrsize=4, doublesize=8, byteorder=1234 d_longlong=define, longlongsize=8, d_longdbl=define, longdblsize=12 ivtype='long', ivsize=4, nvtype='double', nvsize=8, Off_t='off_t', lseeksize =8 alignbytes=4, usemymalloc=n, prototype=define Linker and Libraries: ld='cc', ldflags =' -L/usr/local/lib' libpth=/usr/local/lib /lib /usr/lib libs=-lnsl -lndbm -lgdbm -ldb -ldl -lm -lc -lposix -lcrypt -lutil perllibs=-lnsl -ldl -lm -lc -lposix -lcrypt -lutil libc=/lib/libc-2.1.3.so, so=so, useshrplib=false, libperl=libperl.a Dynamic Linking: dlsrc=dl_dlopen.xs, dlext=so, d_dlsymun=undef, ccdlflags='-rdynamic' cccdlflags='-fpic', lddlflags='-shared -L/usr/local/lib' Characteristics of this binary (from libperl): Compile-time options: USE_LARGE_FILES Built under linux Compiled at Feb 5 2002 01:03:50 @INC: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .
