Hello, I wan't to install the DBD::Oracle package on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. I've installed a Oracle 10gR2 database (not the client) which is running well.
Everytime I wan't to install the package I got the message: ##################################################################### Removing previously used /home/administrator/.cpan/build/DBD-Oracle-1.24 CPAN.pm: Going to build P/PY/PYTHIAN/DBD-Oracle-1.24b.tar.gz Argument "6.30_01" isn't numeric in subroutine entry at Makefile.PL line 10 main::BEGIN() called at /usr/share/perl/5.8/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 10 eval {...} called at /usr/share/perl/5.8/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 10 Using DBI 1.601 (for perl 5.008008 on i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi) installed in /usr/lib/perl5/auto/DBI/ Argument "6.30_01" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at Makefile.PL line 61. Configuring DBD::Oracle for perl 5.008008 on linux (i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi) Remember to actually *READ* the README file! Especially if you have any problems. Trying to find an ORACLE_HOME Your LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var is set to '' The ORACLE_HOME environment variable is not set and I couldn't guess it. It must be set to hold the path to an Oracle installation directory on this machine (or a machine with a compatible architecture). See the appropriate README file for your OS for more information. ABORTED! Running make test Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test Running make install Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install ######################################################################## The ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set for user administrator (root priviliges) and oracle user. But It seems the installer doesn't find it anyway. For what user do I have to execute the cpan programm to fetch the environment variables and get access to the oracle directories? Thx Ben
