Ok, Thanks Tim for the oci8.c patch. Make ran great. But now I can't get the tests to run.
Running Oracle 8.1.6. >make test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/base.......dubious Test returned status 0 (wstat 139, 0x8b) t/cursor.....dubious Test returned status 0 (wstat 139, 0x8b) t/general....dubious Test returned status 0 (wstat 139, 0x8b) t/long.......dubious Test returned status 0 (wstat 139, 0x8b) t/meta.......dubious Test returned status 0 (wstat 139, 0x8b) t/ph_type....dubious Test returned status 0 (wstat 139, 0x8b) t/plsql......dubious Test returned status 0 (wstat 139, 0x8b) t/reauth.....skipped all skipped: no reason given t/select.....dubious Test returned status 0 (wstat 139, 0x8b) FAILED--9 test scripts could be run, alas--no output ever seen make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 2 I've tried the various ways to logon, as detailed in the POD, to no avail. If I run test.pl outside of make I get a core dump. If I run my own scripts I get a core dump. I was able to run base.t w/o error by just running it. BTW...I also tried installing DBD-Oracle-1.06 into the Perl 5.8.0 tree and my scripts core dumped also. May be a perl installation problem?? >perl -V Summary of my perl5 (revision 5.0 version 8 subversion 0) configuration: Platform: osname=solaris, osvers=2.8, archname=sun4-solaris-thread-multi-64int uname='sunos ccdev01 5.8 generic_108528-13 sun4u sparc sunw,ultra-enterprise ' config_args='-Dcc=gcc -Duseperlio -Dusethreads' hint=recommended, useposix=true, d_sigaction=define usethreads=define use5005threads=undef useithreads=define usemultiplicity=define useperlio=define d_sfio=undef uselargefiles=define usesocks=undef use64bitint=define use64bitall=undef uselongdouble=undef usemymalloc=n, bincompat5005=undef Compiler: cc='gcc', ccflags ='-D_REENTRANT -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64', optimize='-O', cppflags='-D_REENTRANT -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include' ccversion='', gccversion='2.95.2 19991024 (release)', gccosandvers='solaris2.8' intsize=4, longsize=4, ptrsize=4, doublesize=8, byteorder=87654321 d_longlong=define, longlongsize=8, d_longdbl=define, longdblsize=16 ivtype='long long', ivsize=8, nvtype='double', nvsize=8, Off_t='off_t', lseeksize=8 alignbytes=8, prototype=define Linker and Libraries: ld='gcc', ldflags =' -L/usr/local/lib ' libpth=/usr/local/lib /usr/lib /usr/ccs/lib libs=-lsocket -lnsl -ldl -lm -lrt -lpthread -lc perllibs=-lsocket -lnsl -ldl -lm -lrt -lpthread -lc libc=/lib/libc.so, so=so, useshrplib=false, libperl=libperl.a gnulibc_version='' Dynamic Linking: dlsrc=dl_dlopen.xs, dlext=so, d_dlsymun=undef, ccdlflags=' ' cccdlflags='-fPIC', lddlflags='-G -L/usr/local/lib' Characteristics of this binary (from libperl): Compile-time options: MULTIPLICITY USE_ITHREADS USE_64_BIT_INT USE_LARGE_FILES PERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT Built under solaris Compiled at Jun 23 2003 21:16:57 @INC: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/sun4-solaris-thread-multi-64int /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris-thread-multi-64int /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .
