Bill, I don't have exactly your problem, but I run perl 5.6 and Oracle 8.1.7 on Tru64 V4.0 and V5.1. I do not have root priviledges either, but I have built perl, DBI and some of the DBD modules without any problems. Just choose a 'good' prefix when you build perl. As I want the same perl/DBI environment across multiple machines, I have to make sure it is some directory that I have write access to on all systems.

I guess an additional installation of the stable 5.8.0 release to an alternate $prefix/path might supply a Perl build robust enough to contain this "libperl.a" file? I don't have root authority, so I would build to somewhere in my own directory area. If that is successful, then I can install DBD::Oracle [using the new 5.8.0 release] and then build a binary for my area's use.

For DBD::Oracle I did a static & dynamic build and they both failed at "make -f Makefile.aperl perl". Failed to find "/usr/lib/perl-5.6.0/lib/5.6.0/alpha-dec_osf/CORE/libperl.a". How would my Systems Admin install PERL [or add to it] so that the "libperl.a" shows up in the proper dir? Thanks. Bill Australia Post is committed to providing our customers with excellent service.
