[Bry_1]

Hi guys,

Sorry for the trouble. I am having difficulty getting DBD install on server. Server is HP-UX 11.31. running Oracle client 11. Got the following error below. Hope you guys can give me some direction. Very much thanks

Stop.

You have a 32 bit oci8.o. Have you checked the other objects with file(1)?
Is /u01/dbclient/oracle/product/11.1.0/client_1/lib//libclntsh.so 32 bit or 64 bit?

[Bry_1]

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for reply. Oracle client is 64 bit.

oci8.o is in DBD install dir. Should it matter?

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi:

If you Oracle client is a 64-bit one, then you need to use a 64-bit Perl too.

As for the linker error, this is telling you that you are trying mix 32-bit and 64-bit objects at link time. This is illegal.

>Oracle client is 64 bit. oci8.o is in DBD install dir. Should it matter?

Then you need to build your application with +DD64. Your oci8.o was not compiled with that option.

Hi Guys,

How can I change perl to 64bit?

I assume oci8.c in DBD install directory is 32 bit.

Sorry for noob question.

Hi (again) Bry:

> How can I change perl to 64bit?

# rm /opt/perl
# ln -s /opt/perl_64 /opt/perl

I assume that your '/usr/bin/perl' is a symbolic link to '/opt/perl/bin/perl'. This is the usual setup when installing Perl from HP. In that case, the above commands will establish the 64-bit Perl as the default.
