This problem is becoming more and more of a faq. I talked to Tim, the maintainer of DBD-Oracle and he said there is a new release in the works.
Your problem is caused because Oracle 9.2.0 uses 64 bit. This is what caused your 'wrong ELF class' error. You will have to go thru the Makefile and change every instance of 9.2.0/lib to 9.2.0/lib32. I also got a problem because there are 2 -o options in some of the commands. (-o build and -o file-name). I had to delete the '-o build' options from the makefile also. It then did a good make for me and I was able to make install. Oraperl seems to work OK, but I am not sure whether removing the -o build will cause problems down the road. That question was asked on the list once before, but I have not found an answer. > -----Original Message----- > From: Gulácsi Tamás [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 8:47
