Oracle 9 64bit and DBD::Oracle

[Kent Arnott]

I am attempting to compile DBD::Oracle 1.12 with Perl 5.8.0, to work with Oracle 9.2 64bit on HPUX 11.i.

I am using the HP ANSI C compiler.

Perl was configured with the following command,

./Configure -Duse64bitall -Aprepend:libswanted='cl pthread ' -Ubincompat5005

Perl compiles, tests, and installs fine.

When performing 'make test' with DBD::Oracle I receive the following linking errors,

PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/base......./usr/lib/pa20_64/dld.sl: Unable to find library 'libwtc9.sl'.
Failed to load Oracle extension and/or shared libraries:
install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load '/home/tec401/DBD-Oracle-1.12/blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.sl' for module DBD::Oracle: No such file or directory at /opt/perl5/lib/5.8.0/PA-RISC2.0-LP64/DynaLoader.pm line 229.
at (eval 1) line 3
Compilation failed in require at (eval 1) line 3.
Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected
at t/base.t line 19
The remaining tests will probably also fail with the same error.


I have also tried using '$perl Makefile.PL LINKTYPE=static' as well and receive a different error during linking.

Perl -V is attached. Thank you for any help.

I found my problem. I feel so stupid.

I was executing 'make test' under an account that didn't have the SHLIB_PATH set.

I misinterpreted the README.hpux document that came with DBD::Oracle.

When it mentions that the ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, and ORACLE_USERID env vars are required for performing the make tests, I believed that was all that was required and got locked into a mindset.

I also need using DBD oracle too.
Can you kidly give me the below info?
Where are you got Perl5.8?
Do you compile the sourcecode youself?
which C compiler you used?

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

If you are going to use gcc, you can use the precompiled version from my ITRC website on https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn/ or http://www.cmve.net/~merijn/
It is Oracle prepared, and has precompiled DBI with it, but it is 32bit only.

If you do not need 64bit Oracle, you also do not need a 64bit perl, and thus gain up to 20% performance.

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn

I have dowload it.But when I using "perl" , it report "su: ./perl: Execute permission denied."
.
Can you help me?
I install it on a E25 machine and hpux 11.00/32bits.
Thanks

[Jeff Schussele]

The file you are trying to execute is not allowed to do such.
Run chmod u+x ./perl
Then give it another shot.

HTH,
Jeff

[稀里哗啦]

Thanks for your help first.
I have done it, but the same error message report again.
Do you have some other advise?

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Hmm, if you got my download, you have downloaded a compressed tar file, which is not executable.

# cd /opt
# mkdir perl
# cd perl
# bzip2 -d # ls

if the only folder that now shows up is perl, mv it up

# mv perl/* .
# rmdir perl

if you don't have bzip2, find it on the download page too

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn
