perl with DBD::Oracle

[Kim_18]

I'm at my wits end - I am trying to compile perl and include module DBD::Oracle - the DBD::Oracle will make but will not pass the make test phase - I have tried severl binary versions - then resorted to compiling my own perl with HP ANSI C and with GCC - still no luck - Can someone please give me the step by step to get me through this

I get these errors everytime
Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail List of Failed

Stop.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi Kim,

It'd help to give details of the commands used to build the DBD::Oracle module, and the actual error messages encountered during 'make test'.

Also, take a look at "Building Oracle DBD modules" section in the official HP perl page (http://www.hp.com/go/perl). It lists the steps to be followed to build the module using HP delivered perl.

what I am doing is a
perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBD::Oracle'

These are the 2 test that fail
