Hi there,

I am attempting to install DBD-Oracle using ppm 4.0 on a Windows XP =
computer that has ActiveState version 5.8.8 installed. In the command =
line I have type

=20

"ppm install DBD-Oracle"

"ppm install DBD::Oracle"

=20

None of these work and results in the error below:

"ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provide DBD-Oracle"

Thanks in advance for the help.

RE: ppm install failed for DBD-Oracle because it can"t find the package

I already have the http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ repository in PPM.


I am not sure if this matters or what it means but one thing I noticed
that under Areas tab of PPM preferences there are two radio options. One
is site and has 28 packages, the @INC value is C:/OTRS/Perl/site/lib and
the other is perl and has 42 packages, the @INC value is
C:/OTRS/Perl/lib.

I am not able to click on the perl radio option in that list.
