I am attempting <still> to install the DBD::Oracle module on a machine with the following specs: PA-RISC 2.0 Oracle 8.1.7 HPUX 11.0 Perl 5.6 DBI 1.14 DBD:Oracle 1.06 I followed the instructions given by Lincoln Baxter (RE: DBD-Oracle (1.06) and HPUX 11.00 (README.hpux pasted inline). However, I am still getting errors on the make test. Following is the output of make test: ------- BEGIN PASTE ------------------------ PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib -I/opt/per l5/lib/5.6.0/PA-RISC2.0 -I/opt/perl5/lib/5.6.0 -e 'use Test::Harness qw(& runtests $verbose); $verbose=0; runtests @ARGV;' t/*.t t/base............../usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't shl_load() a library containin g Thread Local Storage: /opt/oracle/product/8.1.7/JRE/lib/PA_RISC/native_ threads/libjava.sl /usr/lib/dld.sl: Exec format error t/base..............ok 3/5FAILED tests 4-5 Failed 2/5 tests, 60.00% okay t/general.........../usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't shl_load() a library containin g Thread Local Storage: /opt/oracle/product/8.1.7/JRE/lib/PA_RISC/native_ threads/libjava.sl /usr/lib/dld.sl: Exec format error install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Orac le.sl' for module DBD::Oracle: Exec format error at /opt/perl5/lib/5.6.0/ PA-RISC2.0/DynaLoader.pm line 200. at (eval 1) line 3 Compilation failed in require at (eval 1) line 3.

From the list, I noticed that the details of the OS and Oracle is missing (i.e. patch levels and oracle packages). Are there some Oracle packages that would cause errors and HP-UX 11.0 patches that I may need or should not have? I've been at this for a while now. I would be extremely grateful for any help. Thanks. Brent Bowman
