Has anyone encountered any problems running the PERL DBI with Oracle 8.1.7? I didn't have any problems with Oracle 8.1.5, but after an upgrade to Oracle 8.1.7, I'm now getting the error message shown at the bottom of this message. I checked and found that the Oracle.so file does exist. I then looked at DynaLoader.pm on line 200 and found the following comment: # Many dynamic extension loading problems will appear to come from # this section of code: XYZ failed at line 123 of DynaLoader.pm. # Often these errors are actually occurring in the initialisation # C code of the extension XS file. Perl reports the error as being # in this perl code simply because this was the last perl code # it executed. my $libref = dl_load_file($file, $module->dl_load_flags) or croak("Can't load '$file' for module $module: ".dl_error()); install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/sun4-solaris/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/perl: fatal: libclntsh.so.8.0: open failed: No such file or directory at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 200. at (eval 1) line 3 Compilation failed in require at (eval 1) line 3. Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected at ./myfile.pl line 91 Any ideas? Thanks for your time, MikeThread Previous | Thread Next
