What are the steps to install perl-DBD:Oracle on a centos 5 server?
I have the following oracle rpm's installed
rpm -qa | grep oracle
oracle-instantclient11.2-odbc-11.2.0.1.0-1
oracle-instantclient-sqlplus-10.2.0.3-1
oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1

oracle-instantclient11.2-devel-11.2.0.1.0-1
oracle-instantclient-devel-10.2.0.3-1
oracle-instantclient-jdbc-10.2.0.3-1
when I try to install the following, I get
rpm -i perl-DBD-Oracle-1.19-1.el5.i386.rpm

I had similar problems on RHEL5 just recently. This is one of the few
packages on RHEL5 where I'd recommend installing DBD::Oracle from CPAN
rather than installing it as an .rpm
I wouldn't bother with oracle-instantclient11.2* unless you have to. I
had no end of trouble with it, lots of wierd problems with
disconnections (ORA-12540) and failing to connect to a know good
listener (ORA-12541), with no joy debugging it at all.
Also after you've installed your oracle packages, you need to make sure
that your $ORACLE_HOME is pointing to the right place.
I didn't use $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, instead I added an entry in;
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle.conf
with all the paths to the libraries, eg:
# cat oracle.conf
/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.4/client/lib
then run;
ldconfig -v | less
to confirm.
Then used cpan to download and unpack the module, cd'd in
$HOME/.cpan/build/DBD-Oracle* and ran;
# make
# make install
Perhaps not very redhatty, but worked fine.
regards,
Kim
