Hi all. I am attempting to install DBD::Oracle from the perl CPAN
shell.
The installation script seems to assume that oracle is installed
locally. It asks me to set ORACLE_HOME to the path the oracle is
installed and to try
again. Well I don't have oracle installed locally. I want to install
DBD::Oracle so I can connect to a remote oracle server. Any ideas?
Install Oracle.
Probably just looking for some specific library from Oracle, just like
most other DBD's do. If you can download the source code and
figure out
what that library is, you may be able to install just that file and
go,
but probably easier to just install Oracle. Oracle does not need
to be
running on the local server, just installed for the libs.
If you do figure out the library file(s), please post your notes or
instructions. I've tried to figure out which files were necessary
and discovered it was just easier to install Oracle. Maybe I'll
revisit this "challenge" in the future.
