Make test problems with Oracle DBD

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

I have been getting "error code 29" when I run make test for the Oracle DBD module. I am running solaris 8 with Oracle 9i. Any help would be appreciated! My make test output follows:

Which version of DBD::Oracle are you trying to install? Version 1.15 (I believe) allows trailing spaces on Oracle 9.2 VARCHAR2 fields. Alternatively, edit t/ph_type.pl to allow trailing spaces on VARCHAR2, i.e. change: `{ type=> 1, name=>"VARCHAR2", chops_space=>1, embed_nul=>1, skip=>0 },` [download] to `{ type=> 1, name=>"VARCHAR2", chops_space=>0, embed_nul=>1, skip=>0 },` [download] rdfield	[reply] [d/l] [select]
