Which DBD::Oracle are you attempting to build? So you've untarred the instantclient sqlplus, sdk and basic zip files? and they all unzip into a single place /opt/Oracle/instantclient_10_2? Did you check the permissions on the entire tree from /opt? Did you set and export the ORACLE_HOME environment variable or LD_LIBRARY_PATH and if so what did you set it to? I would not set ORACLE_HOME but I would set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /opt/Oracle/instantclient_10_2. > And indeed I can't find any such files for s390(x).

You don't need them with instantclient - something else is wrong. > Has anyone gotten DBD-Oracle working on zLinux/s390?

Look through my above suggestions and give them a try. If it still does not work show us what you did and what happened. Martin -- Martin J. Evans Easysoft Limited http://www.easysoft.com
