Does anybody know why I am getting this strange error during compiling the dbd::oracle pacakge. DBI I have already built and installed, which works fine.

Also I did the compilation in a different machine which worked fine over there. 

% pwd  <br>          
/export/appl/myperl/Perl-5.8.8/downloads/DBD-Oracle-1.19<br>
% <br>
% perl Makefile.PL<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 alternati
+ves.<br>

     at Makefile.PL line 1074.
