Guys, I'm having the same problem atm. I have to install perl on aix 5l system for oracle 9.2 and need to stay supported to the other versions ( 8.1.7 ).
So these questions : 1. Do you guys know where the newest version for aix is located ( 5.6 on bull website ) 2. Which environment needs to be set before make of Perl, DBI and DBD:Oracle? 3. Which additional parameters are required thanks for any help you can offer Bjorn Naessens -----Original Message----- From: Gold, Samuel (Contractor) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: dinsdag 17 juni 2003 14:40 To: 'Rafael Caceres'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Can't build DBD::Oracle on AIX 5.1 with Oracle 9.2 Yes, use the 32-bit oracle libraries. I will forward a previous post on this issue.

I'm now trying to build DBD::Oracle on a new AIX 5.1 machine from scratch: Perl 5.8.0 built with xlc_r With this perl, DBI builds and install just fine. The DBD::Oracle build process stops with a "XCOFF64 files are not allowed in 32-bit mode". This has to do with the fact that the OCI interface is 64bit and libraries like crt0_64.o are included in the DBD::Oracle build. The problem is, if I build Perl with -Dcc=xlc_r and -q64 (to force 64 bits), I get a problem with integer size conversions under DBI, and DBI does not build correctly. Can anyone point at the 'right' combination of Perl build parameters to enable using DBD::Oracle under AIX 5.1 with Oracle 9.2? Rafael Caceres
