Hi, Bob, I've met some (similar but not same) failed tests in my previous of DBD::Oracle installations. I eventually found out: 1. if it complains about libraries, the PATH environment variable of the user who is doing the installation might lack of something; 2. the Oracle account (ORACLE_USERID), say, the default 'scott/tiger', used in the testing does not have sufficient privillege to use some features in the database. Hope it helps you. Best, Alan

Looks like the build and compile work just fine, but the first test complains about a symbol not being found. I'm not sure what might be wrong. Any suggestions? The readme files were helpful, but have not resolved my issue. Thanks Bob Heres what I'm getting out as test results: Script started on Thu Aug 23 06:41:47 2007 # id uid=0(root) gid=1(daemon) groups=0(system),3(mem),7(terminal),9(opr),12(lp) # make test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/perl-5.8.8/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/01base................Failed to load Oracle extension and/or shared libraries: install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load '/home/robbro04/DBD-Oracle-1.19/blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: Unresolved symbol in /home/robbro04/DBD-Oracle-1.19/blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so: OCILobCreateTemporary at /usr/local/perl-5.8.8/lib/5.8.8/alpha-dec_osf/DynaLoader.pm line 230. at (eval 3) line 3 Compilation failed in require at (eval 3) line 3.
