On the premise instant client and also tried to run perl Makefile.PL -V 9.2 & with -v 10.2.0.4 The only thing that is out of place is this compile a warning is thrown when the make command is run gcc -c -I/home/bmpe/bmpadme/instantclient_10_2/sdk/include -I/opt/perl586/lib/site_perl/5.8.6/sun4-solaris-thread-multi/auto/DBI -D_REENTRANT -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O -DVERSION=\"1.21\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.21\" -fPIC "-I/opt/perl586/lib/5.8.6/sun4-solaris-thread-multi/CORE" -Wall -Wno-comment -DUTF8_SUPPORT -DNEW_OCI_INIT -DORA_OCI_VERSION=\"10.2.0.4\" dbdimp.c dbdimp.c: In function `ora_st_execute_array': dbdimp.c:3269: warning: unused variable `sv2' Full output of the make, ux11:/home/bmpe/bmpadme/DBD-Oracle-1.21 > make Skip blib/lib/DBD/Oracle.pm (unchanged) Skip blib/lib/DBD/mkta.pl (unchanged) Skip blib/lib/oraperl.ph (unchanged) Skip blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/dbdimp.h (unchanged) Skip blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/ocitrace.h (unchanged) Skip blib/lib/Oraperl.pm (unchanged) Skip blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.h (unchanged) cp mk.pm blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/mk.pm Skip blib/lib/DBD/Oracle/GetInfo.pm (unchanged) gcc -c -I/home/bmpe/bmpadme/instantclient_10_2/sdk/include -I/opt/perl586/lib/site_perl/5.8.6/sun4-solaris-thread-multi/auto/DBI -D_REENTRANT -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O -DVERSION=\"1.21\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.21\" -fPIC "-I/opt/perl586/lib/5.8.6/sun4-solaris-thread-multi/CORE" -Wall -Wno-comment -DUTF8_SUPPORT -DNEW_OCI_INIT -DORA_OCI_VERSION=\"10.2.0.4\" DBD_ORA_OBJ.c gcc -c -I/home/bmpe/bmpadme/instantclient_10_2/sdk/include -I/opt/perl586/lib/site_perl/5.8.6/sun4-solaris-thread-multi/auto/DBI -D_REENTRANT -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O -DVERSION=\"1.21\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.21\" -fPIC "-I/opt/perl586/lib/5.8.6/sun4-solaris-thread-multi/CORE" -Wall -Wno-comment -DUTF8_SUPPORT -DNEW_OCI_INIT -DORA_OCI_VERSION=\"10.2.0.4\" Oracle.c *gcc -c -I/home/bmpe/bmpadme/instantclient_10_2/sdk/include -I/opt/perl586/lib/site_perl/5.8.6/sun4-solaris-thread-multi/auto/DBI -D_REENTRANT -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O -DVERSION=\"1.21\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.21\" -fPIC "-I/opt/perl586/lib/5.8.6/sun4-solaris-thread-multi/CORE" -Wall -Wno-comment -DUTF8_SUPPORT -DNEW_OCI_INIT -DORA_OCI_VERSION=\"10.2.0.4\" dbdimp.c dbdimp.c: In function `ora_st_execute_array': dbdimp.c:3269: warning: unused variable `sv2'* gcc -c -I/home/bmpe/bmpadme/instantclient_10_2/sdk/include -I/opt/perl586/lib/site_perl/5.8.6/sun4-solaris-thread-multi/auto/DBI -D_REENTRANT -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O -DVERSION=\"1.21\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.21\" -fPIC "-I/opt/perl586/lib/5.8.6/sun4-solaris-thread-multi/CORE" -Wall -Wno-comment -DUTF8_SUPPORT -DNEW_OCI_INIT -DORA_OCI_VERSION=\"10.2.0.4\" oci8.c Running Mkbootstrap for DBD::Oracle () chmod 644 Oracle.bs rm -f blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so LD_RUN_PATH="/home/bmpe/bmpadme/instantclient_10_2" gcc -G -L/usr/local/lib DBD_ORA_OBJ.o Oracle.o dbdimp.o oci8.o -o blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so -L/home/bmpe/bmpadme/instantclient_10_2 -lclntsh chmod 755 blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so cp Oracle.bs blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.bs chmod 644 blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.bs cp ora_explain blib/script/ora_explain /usr/local/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::MY" -e "MY->fixin(shift)" blib/script/ora_explain Manifying blib/man1/ora_explain.1 Manifying blib/man3/DBD::Oracle.3 Manifying blib/man3/DBD::Oraperl.3 On Sun, Apr 5, 2009 at 8:05 AM, <sco...@pythian.com> wrote: > I tested it and I got the correct values back > Looking at the error you are now getting in 10gen that is an OS related > error This is the basic check that we can fork subprocesses and wait for > the status after having connected to Oracle > > It is only suppose to run on solaris if the oci is gt 9. > > In your case this is true but your DB is 9.2 which leads me to thing it > is the combination of 9.2 db and solaris that is the root cause. > > You might not have a work around for this.
