Configuring DBD::Oracle ...

>>> Remember to actually *READ* the README file!
Especially if you have any problems.

The ORACLE_HOME environment variable must be set.
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 README.clients file for more information.
ABORTED!

[root@bdhp4264:/home/aq1764/DBD-Oracle-1.14]
# echo $ORACLE_HOME
/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0.4


How can I get around this?

[ranganath ramachandra]

has the variable been exported ?

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

If it can be echoed, it's exported enough.

What's your vesion of DBD::Oracle you want to install?

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

[Fred Ruffet]

looking at your PATH, it should be DBD::Oracle 1.14 :)

Why this version ? There is now a more recent version.

Could you send output from
set | grep -e ORA -e NLS

Regards,

Fred

[ranganath ramachandra]

i'm assuming that the script really didnt find the variable set.

i could not get a shell script to access the value of a parent shell's variable that was not exported (i tried only sh & bash on hpux and linux) so here goes some blah-blah:
----
bash-2.01$ BLAH=blah
bash-2.01$ echo $BLAH
blah
bash-2.01$ cat /tmp/blah
echo $BLAH
bash-2.01$ sh -x /tmp/blah
+ echo

bash-2.01$ bash -x /tmp/blah
+ echo

bash-2.01$ sh
$ echo $BLAH

$ BLAH=blah
$ sh -x /tmp/blah
+ echo

$ bash -x /tmp/blah
+ echo

---

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

# export ORACLE_HOME
# export ORACLE_SID

BUT, I can't imagine that Oracle would work at all when these are not exported.

That said, as Fred said, DBD::Oracle-1.15 is the most recent DBD-Oracle, and DBI-1.43 is newer than 1.40 (at the moment of writing. I expect DBD-Oracle-1.16 pretty soon)

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.merijn

[Tonya Underwood]

Very sorry for the late response...

[root@bdhp4264:/root]
# set | grep -e ORA -e NLS
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0.4
ORACLE_SID=dummy101
_=ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0.4

I am going to try 1.15 and then we'll see what happens

[Tonya Underwood]

OK... on 1.15 I get through with no errors until make test.

Here is a snip... but I have attached the entire output as well...


PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t

Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected

The remaining tests will probably also fail with the same error.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura · Accepted solution]

Looks like an easy call, which is explained in Perl's README.hpux

If all is properly installed, check

# man perlhpux

and then

# perl -V:libs

If that does not have -lcl and -lpthread you're out of luck for Oracle, and you will have to get yourself another Perl binary

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

[Tonya Underwood]

[root@bdhp4264:/home/aq1764/DBD-Oracle-1.15]
# perl -V:libs

You are right...

So, if new binary needed... you are speaking of new perl install correct? How can I be sure I will have these libs prior to install...
