Hi, I have installed Oracle 9i client and now am trying to install DBD::Oracle.

When I run perl Makefile.PL, everything seems ok except for these 2 errors:

/opt/oracle/oracle_9i/bin/sqlplus: cannot execute binary file

and Checking for functioning wait.ph Scalar found where operator expected at (eval 205) line 1, near "'int' $__val" (Missing operator before $__val?)

When I run make, these errors pop up:

Oracle.xs:191: warning: unused variable `startp' {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:2: Warning: Unrecognized .section attribute: want a,w,x {standard input}:2: Warning: Unrecognized .section attribute: want a,w,x {standard input}:2: Error: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character is `,'. {standard input}:11: Warning: Unrecognized .section attribute: want a,w,x {standard input}:11: Warning: Unrecognized .section attribute: want a,w,x {standard input}:11: Error: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character is `,'. {standard input}:4725: Warning: Unrecognized .section attribute: want a,w,x {standard input}:4725: Error: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character is `,'. make: *** Oracle.o Error 1

and when I go to run make install, the same erros from make pop up. I thought these errors were minor, but when I ran the test.pl, it says:

install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't locate loadable object for module DBD::Oracle in @INC Compilation failed in require at (eval 1) line 3. Perhaps a module that DBD::Oracle requires hasn't been fully installed at /home/oracle/DBD-Oracle-1.16/blib/lib/Oraperl.pm line 58 Compilation failed in require at test.pl line 37. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test.pl line 37.

I don't really know the reason why DBD::Oracle to install proper...whether it may be caused by the client for Oracle 9i or something else. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
