Using Oracle in /export/apps/oracli/DSM/9.2.0<br>

Oracle version 9.2.0.5 (9.2)<br><br>

        Unable to locate an oracle.mk, proc.mk or other suitable *.mk<br>
        file in your Oracle installation.  <br>(I looked in
        /export/apps/oracli/DSM/9.2.0/rdbms/demo/demo_xe.mk /export/apps/oracli/DSM/9.2.0/rdbms/lib/oracle.mk /export/apps/oracli/DSM/9.2.0/rdbms/demo/oracle.mk /export/apps/oracli/DSM/9.2.0/rdbms/demo/demo_rdbms.mk /export/apps/oracli/DSM/9.2.0/precomp/demo/proc/proc.mk /export/apps/oracli/DSM/9.2.0/precomp/demo/proc/demo_proc.mk /export/apps/oracli/DSM/9.2.0/proc/lib/proc.mk /export/apps/oracli/DSM/9.2.0/proc16/lib/proc16.mk under /export/apps/oracli/DSM/9.2.0)<br><br>

        The oracle.mk (or demo_rdbms.mk) file is part of the Oracle
        RDBMS product. The proc.mk (or demo_proc.mk) file is part of
        the Oracle Pro*C product.  You need to build DBD::Oracle on a
        system which has one of these Oracle components installed.
        (Other *.mk files such as the env_*.mk files will not work.)
        Alternatively you can use Oracle Instant Client.<br><br>

        In the unlikely event that a suitable *.mk file is installed
        somewhere non-standard you can specify where it is using the -m option:
                perl Makefile.PL -m /path/to/your.mk

        See README.clients.txt for more information and some alternatives.<br>
