We are heavy Sybase users and there may be some possibility of us assisting you in getting *nix flavors. The Windoze and Linux versions of Sybase Open Client are available from www.sybase.com for free to developers, it just requires that you register with them to download and use the software.

If someone who is willing to keep up with versions and build DBD::Sybase with the same version of DBI that I have, then I'd be willing to put it up on my ftp site with the other downloads. That, or, if someone from Sybase is out there, get me a "developer" version and permission to post it, I'll do it. Thanks, Jeff Thanks in Advance. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Urlwin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 12, 2004 6:23 PM To: 'David N Murray'; 'Fermin, Gennie' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: DBD David, I got this same error and have seen others post with the same problem. I d/l'd the whole oracle kit (dbd-oracle-1.14, from cpan) and built it on my machine, and it works fine (DBI doesn't have any .dll dependencies that I'm aware of). I have the full oracle 8.1.4 client installed, MSVC 6 SP3, and perl 5.8.2 build 808 (ActiveState) on XP Pro. The commands I used (in a command window) were: vcvars32.bat (configures command-line MSVC environment), perl Makefile.pl (complained about not being able to find Oracle headers), nmake (worked despite prev warning), nmake install. If someone has some info on how I can bundle this up, I'd be happy to do it. My concern is with the various pieces that I used, however. I don't really have access to any other Oracle clients and I don't know what the DLL hell would look like if I tried to ship this. I already have it bundled and I have it PPM installable. Gennie -- I announced this a while back on DBI-Users and DBI-Announce. If you are running ActiveState build 808 (5.8.2) ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.2/DBI.ppd ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.2/DBD-Oracle.ppd Regards, Jeff Dave On Jan 9, Fermin, Gennie scribed: Hi I'm trying to install DBD-Oracle. I get this error msg when I run: C:\Perl\lib\DBD-Oracle>ppm install DBD-Oracle.ppd Error: no suitable installation target found for package DBD-Oracle. Does anyone know of documentation on-line that could help me? Or has anyone come across this error?
