Ron, I could be way off here, but the OP may(?) already have Perl installed on his Solaris systsem - he may just need DBD::Oracle. I think the original issue was that he tried to use *PPM* to install DBD::Oracle - is that right Vivekananda? I don't have any Solaris experience, but if this is the case, he probably just needs to download the DBD::Oracle .tar.gz, read the README(is there a readme for Solaris?) and build it.
I just wanted to throw this out there as a possibility, before going down the download and install Perl road ;-) Hardy >>> "Reidy, Ron" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12/17/04 08:50AM >>> Sure. 1. Download perl from http://www.perl.com 2. Unpack (tar xvzf stable.tar.gz) 3. Read the README file After you have built and installed Perl, google "install perl modules using cpan" Remeber, **ALWAYS** read the README* files for all modules before you install them or if you have problems/issues during the make/make test/make install phases. -- Ron Reidy Lead DBA Array BioPharma, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 12/17/2004 2:19 AM To: Reidy, Ron Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Please Help !!!

Unable to install DBD-Oracle ( I am using perl 5.6 on solaris 8) You will need (I think) to build Perl from scratch. Check which C compiler was used to build Perl. If it is not the C compiler you have on your system, you will need to build it yourself. After that you will need to build DBI and DBD::Oracle yourself. ----------------- Ron Reidy Lead DBA Array BioPharma, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 2004 7:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Please Help !!!

Can you kindly let me know a place where I can get DBD-Oracle for solaris 8 and perl 5.6 using PPM??? Please help me in this regard. Thanks again!!

You will need to build DBD-Oracle yourself. I believe, before, you used PPM to install DBI from ActiveState's site, not from my site. That would explain why you are having issues.
