I thought you said you are on perl 5.8 not perl 5.6? Looks like Solaris 64 bit (and not on Windows). Either way, DBI is failing so there is no chance DBD::Oracle will work until you fix that. Fix that first :
If you have more than one perl in your path try calling the one that does have DBI installed explicitly from your shebang line : #!/usr/bin/perl #!/usr/bin/perl58 If that wasn't it you may have to get more involved :-) : If you have a c compiler and just need to install perl modules get any prerequisites (not DBI itself) from CPAN : perl -MCPAN -e shell o conf prerequisites_policy ask you can then install modules like this : install some::module If elves messed up your cpan configuration (see that a lot) you can rerun the config script by rerunning the cpan script Cpan Once you are in the CPAN shell enter o conf init This will kick off the wizard. You should also make sure your Oracle install is complete for when you eventually compile DBI and DBD Oracle. Specifically I have found that I need to have files in my /rdbms/lib and /lib32 directories for DBI to compile. By default you don't get them in a client oracle install. Either reinstall and let the universal installer put them there or fetch them from you database server (which probably has them in /rdbms/lib and /lib32. Installing most modules will only work IF you have a C Compiler and make. Solaris doesn't give you one by default and charge like $4000 for theirs so . . . If you don't have a c compiler or make or some other essential component, get the pkg-get script http://sunfreeware.com/ and use it to install them (a free one) : pkg-get install gcc I have used gcc on solaris to compile DBI and DBD::Oracle and frankly had no luck with the $4000 compiler (though I still need it since gcc won't compile external procedures for oracle but that is another story) Once you are sure you are using the correct verion of perl, have the correct Oracle files and libs available, have tools needed to compile stuff installed, and have all the perl prerequisites installed you can worry about compiling/installing DBI. -M -----Original Message----- From: Sanjay Tripathi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2007 10:17 AM To: Matthew Ramadanovic; Satya Shiv Mohanty Cc: dbi-users@perl.org Subject: RE: Perl DBI Urgent Matt, As your suggestion, I did like that [EMAIL PROTECTED] # vi sanjay_test.pl "sanjay_test.pl" [New file] #!/bin/sh echo DEFANGED.1400 exit #!/usr/bin/perl eval { use DBI; }; if ($@) { print "Couldn't use DBI : [EMAIL PROTECTED]"; } else { print "Loaded DBI successfully\n"; } eval { use DBD::Oracle; }; if ($@) { print "Couldn't use DBD::ORACLE : [EMAIL PROTECTED]"; } else { print "Loaded DBD::Oracle successfully\n"; } print "Done\n"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] # perl sanjay_test.pl Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/perl5/5.6.1/lib/sun4-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/5.6.1/lib /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/perl5/site_perl /usr/perl5/vendor_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/vendor_perl/5.6.1 /usr/perl5/vendor_perl .) at sanjay_test.pl line 3.
