Hi, I am trying to install DBD::Oracle against perl v5.8.8. I am running Oracle Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0 on Ubuntu 8.04. The perl Makefile.pl and make seemed to work fine. 'make test' however fails against t/26exe_array. I see some other errors in the output, but, they don't seem to be reported in the final summary.

I have tried googling quite a bit without much success. Or should I just ignore the errors and try to force install? Thanks Regards George M.P.
