Check these things:
  1. Are the environment variables for ORACLE_HOME set to the Oracle install directory and either LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_RUNPATH set to the Oracle library directory for your script's execution? You might see a line like:
    $ENV{ORACLE_HOME} = /whatever;
    in a script.
  2. If so can you run the interactive sql client?

      Title:
      Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
      and:  <code> code here </code>
      to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


    1. Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
    2. Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
    3. Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
    4. Please read these before you post! —
    5. Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
      a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
    6. You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
              For:     Use:
      & &amp;
      < &lt;
      > &gt;
      [ &#91;
      ] &#93;
    7. Link using PerlMonks shortcuts! What shortcuts can I use for linking?
