lbailey has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I had the System Administrator install DBI successfully on a Solaris platform. When attempting to install DBD::Oracle, the README file say to run: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install There is none of these files for DBD::Oracle. Am I suppose to execute the above from the DBI installation again? Larry

    With out more information it is hard to tell. But you ned to install the Oracle Client libraries (from Oracle) before you can install DBD::Oracle.

    Hoep this helps
