adrive has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Ever since upgrading to perl 5.10 with ActiveState Perl, more and more modules are missing from the repository and surprisingly, DBD::Oracle is one of them! I really need help installing this, as I don't have any experience in manually doing it. Before that perl package manager would do wonders with just few clicks...:( I've went to http://search.cpan.org/~pythian/DBD-Oracle-1.20/Oracle.pm and downloaded the source, (i'm using winxp) 2.) i tried installing it from cpan in dos prompt, - "install DBD::Oracle" - then a bunch of files were unzipped, but it ended with these messages : CPAN.pm: Going to build P/PY/PYTHIAN/DBD-Oracle-1.20.tar.gz *** You're using Microsoft Visual C++ compiler or similar but the LIB and INCLUDE environment variables are not both set. You need to run the VCVARS32.BAT batch file that was supplied with the compiler before you can use it. A copy of vcvars32.bat can typically be found in the following directories under your Visual Studio install directory: Visual C++ 6.0: vc98\bin Visual Studio .NET: vc7\bin Find it, run it, then retry this. If you think this error is not correct then just set the LIB and INCLUDE environment variables to some value to disable the check. Warning: No success on commandC:\Perl\bin\perl.exe Makefile.PL Warning (usually harmless): 'YAML' not installed, will not store persistent sta e PYTHIAN/DBD-Oracle-1.20.tar.gz C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe Makefile.PL -- NOT OK Running make test Make had some problems, won't test Running make install Make had some problems, won't install Could not read 'C:\Perl\cpan\build\DBD-Oracle-1.20-3aQcLO\META.yml'. Falling ba k to other methods to determine prerequisites Failed during this command: PYTHIAN/DBD-Oracle-1.20.tar.gz : writemakefile NO 'C:\Perl\bin\p rl.exe Makefile.PL' returned status 65280 2.) then i also tried doing make Makefile.pl but it says : MAKE Version 5.2 Copyright (c) 1987, 2000 Borland Fatal: Unable to open makefile
