Does anyone have experience on installing the Oracle instantclient and DBD::Oracle on CentOS 4.4.
I have been having several issues with getting the RPMs from Oracle's site working with DBD::Oracle. I can get the oracle instant client to install without issue. But I cannot compile/install DBD::Oracle using cpan or cpan2rpm.
I found http://freshrpms.net/docs/oracle/ which has a nosrc rpm for the oracle instant client but I cannot find the ZIP files that are referenced in the SPEC file as Oracle has released a new version.
When I try to build perl-DBD-Oracle-1.16-4.el4.src.rpm from that page it errors out...When I try to install perl-DBD-Oracle-1.16-4.el4.i386.rpm it says it cannot locate the .so files that the instantclient installed although I know they are there. I am not sure where that package is assuming the files should be so I cannot symlink them.
Any assistance would be wonderful.
Thanks!
