I am trying to set up DBI Oracle stuff on a couple of boxes. One is Ubuntu Feiesty and the other is running SunOS 5.8.
I have been using the following test script. #!/usr/bin/perl use DBI; $dbh = DBI->connect( "dbi:Oracle:gen3", "user", "pass" ); Linux ------- I get: install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't locate DBD/Oracle.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at (eval 3) line 3. Perhaps the DBD::Oracle perl module hasn't been fully installed, or perhaps the capitalisation of 'Oracle' isn't right. Available drivers: DBM, ExampleP, File, Proxy, Sponge. at ./db.pl line 5 SunOS ---------- I get: install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load '/opt/local/perl/5.6.1/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: ld.so.1: db.pl: fatal: libclntsh.so.8.0: open failed: No such file or directory at /opt/local/perl/5.6.1/lib/5.6.1/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 206. at (eval 3) line 3 Compilation failed in require at (eval 3) line 3. Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected at ./db.pl line 5 Which I guess are both similar errors. Anyone know what the modules I need and how to add them.
