We have tested perl and it seems to work fine. DBI installed without a hitch. I am getting really beat up trying to get DBD::Oracle to install however. If I do a make I get: /usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -ldl *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/local/src/DBD-Oracle-1.12. Even if I comment out every occurance of '-ldl' that I can find in the makefile I still get complaints during complilation that it is missing. I removed it in mk.pm and still get complaints. if I do a 'perl Makefile.PL -nob' or the other suggested build techniques I get core dumps whenever I try to use Perl that uses oracle. Does anyone have experience with this...or can at least point me out to whether the problem lies in the oracle client or in the perl install missing libraries or in the DBD::Oracle install on FreeBSD when a Linux emulator is involved...thanks in advance for saving my sanity. Please tell me if I have not given enough information to clarify something for you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Weier paul@ibsys.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
