Installing dbd oracle on any version AIX has always been problematic. Usually you have to rebuild your perl with the exact same version of compiler that compiled the perl.
If you are using the Perl that comes with AIX that may be hard to do. As well there are always 64-32 bit issues. Can you post what happens on the perl Makefile.PL Cheers John On Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 3:22 PM, Williams, Stephen < stephen.willi...@twcable.com> wrote: > Afternoon all, > > I am having trouble with trying to compile the DBD drive for Oracle on my > AIX 5.3 TL11 host.
