Hi, Bob,
=20
I've met some (similar but not same) failed tests in my previous of
DBD::Oracle installations. I eventually found out: 1. if it complains
about libraries, the PATH environment variable of the user who is doing
the installation might lack of something; 2. the Oracle account
(ORACLE_USERID), say, the default 'scott/tiger', used in the testing
does not have sufficient privillege to use some features in the
database.

Hope it helps you.

Best,

Hi,

=20

Building the DBD for Oracle on a Tru64 UNIX 4.0G server (alphaserver)
under perl 5.8.8, I'm stuck on getting the test process working
correctly. Looks like the build and compile work just fine, but the
first test complains about a symbol not being found. I'm not sure what
might be wrong. Any suggestions? The readme files were helpful, but
have not resolved my issue. =20

Thanks Bob

Heres what I'm getting out as test results:
