No I didn’t, since I don’t need it on this system, and figured I’d save some time/disk space. Probably a bad idea on my part. The server is working fine though, I was just a bit puzzled. I”ll have to go look back and see if I did install SQLPlus on the other systems. The problem is I set up a new server just once in a blue moon, not all the time, and forget all the bits and bobs I need. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs

I installed the Basic and Development IC rpm’s and the DBD installer complained it couldn’t determine what version I had, then complained it couldn’t find demo.mk. I finally got it to work by manually telling it what version and the path to the .mk file (which hadn’t changed from previous versions: /usr/share/oracle//client64…) The various env values were set correctly, and the files were installed in the usual place, the only difference between this time and the last time I set up a RHEL system was I used the latest 12.1 instant client files rather than 11.2. [root@kalendaetest DBD-Oracle-1.74-EIJTlU]# set |grep ora LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64/lib ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64 PATH=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin:/usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64/bin TNS_ADMIN=/usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64/admin It worked, eventually, just wondering if others have run into the issue... I don't use an RPM based system. I download instantclient basic, devel and sqlplus zips and unzip them then point DBD::Oracle at them by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Did you download the sqlplus RPM (assuming there is one) as DBD::Oracle uses sqlplus during the install to work out what version of the Oracle client you have? Martin -- Martin J. Evans Wetherby, UK
