Hi. I am hoping someone can look over this install info and tell me if it is all ok?
I am having some worries with a new install of fedora 10. I also installed oracle 11.1.0.7. I have the latest DBI and am installing DBD Oracle 1.22. Note I have used DBD and Oracle for many many years. I have a 64 bit environment, UTF8 database and linux, with 32 bit compatibility libraries installed only to make the oracle installer tests happy. In short, it works but produces some test errors. Not sure if I should just ignore them! Plenty of information follows... any suggestions appreciated. When building DBD Oracle, the tests come up with 3 fails: Test Summary Report ------------------- t/26exe_array (Wstat: 512 Tests: 14 Failed: 2) Failed tests: 11, 14 Non-zero exit status: 2 t/30long (Wstat: 512 Tests: 30 Failed: 0) Non-zero exit status: 2 Parse errors: Bad plan. You planned 479 tests but ran 30. t/31lob (Wstat: 256 Tests: 6 Failed: 1) Failed test: 6 Non-zero exit status: 1 Parse errors: Bad plan. You planned 9 tests but ran 6. The actual errors are: t/26exe_array........... Dubious, test returned 2 (wstat 512, 0x200) Failed 2/14 subtests t/30long................panic: sv_len_utf8 cache 10240 real 81920 for 1234.... t/31lob.................DBD::Oracle::st execute failed: ORA-24813: cannot send or receive an unsupported LOB (DBD ERROR: OCIStmtExecute) [for Statement "BEGIN ? := DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH( ? ); END;" with ParamValues: :p1=undef, :p2=OCILobLocatorPtr=SCALAR(0x19cb018)] at t/31lob.t line 108. Installing it anyway seems ok, but running: my $dbh = DBI->connect_cached('dbi:Oracle:sid',username,password,{ RaiseError => 1, PrintError => 0, ShowErrorStatement => 1, AutoCommit => 0, ora_verbose=>6 }) Produces: OCINlsEnvironmentVariableGet(871,0,93,0,2)=SUCCESS OCINlsEnvironmentVariableGet(871,0,94,0,2)=SUCCESS OCINlsEnvCreate(1b8c5d0,THREADED | OBJECT,3,0,0,0,0,0,0,871,871)=SUCCESS OCIHandleAlloc(1c06220,1b8c5d8,OCI_HTYPE_ERROR,0,0)=SUCCESS charset id=871, name=UTF8, ncharset id=871, name=UTF8 (csid: utf8=871 al32utf8=873) OCIHandleAlloc(1c06220,1b8c5e0,OCI_HTYPE_SERVER,0,0)=SUCCESS OCIHandleAlloc(1c06220,1b8c5e8,OCI_HTYPE_SVCCTX,0,0)=SUCCESS OCIServerAttach(1c45608, 1c44e68, "sid", 3, mode=DEFAULT,0)=SUCCESS OCIAttrSet(1c44d90,OCI_HTYPE_SVCCTX,1c45608,0,6,1c44e68)=SUCCESS OCIHandleAlloc(1c06220,1b8c5f0,OCI_HTYPE_SESSION,0,0)=SUCCESS OCIAttrSet(1c81838,OCI_HTYPE_SESSION,1a1d348,8,22,1c44e68)=SUCCESS OCIAttrSet(1c81838,OCI_HTYPE_SESSION,1917d08,6,23,1c44e68)=SUCCESS OCISessionBegin(1c44d90,1c44e68,1c81838,1,mode=DEFAULT 0)=SUCCESS OCIAttrSet(1c44d90,OCI_HTYPE_SVCCTX,1c81838,0,7,1c44e68)=SUCCESS "DBI::db=HASH(0x1919710)" is not exported by the DBD::Oracle module Can't continue after import errors at ./demo.pl line 7 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./demo.pl line 15.

Let me know if I can add anything. Thanks Gordon.
