Hi,

I'm a novice user of linux and perl so bare with me.

I'm trying to install the DBD::Oracle 1.19 module under Perl 5.8.8 on SuSE 10.1. I've successfully installed Oracle InstantClient 10.2.0.3 (I've connected to a DB with sqlplus). However, when I run "cpan -i DBD::Oracle" I get the following:

CPAN.pm: Going to build P/PY/PYTHIAN/DBD-Oracle-1.19.tar.gz

Multiple copies of Driver.xst found in: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8

Configuring DBD::Oracle for perl 5.008008 on linux (x86_64-linux-threa

Remember to actually *READ* the README file! Especially if you have an
+y problems.

Using Oracle in /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.1/client/lib
DEFINE _SQLPLUS_RELEASE = "1002000300" (CHAR)
Oracle version 10.2.0.3 (10.2)
Looks like an Instant Client installation, okay
Your LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var is set to '/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.1/clien
+t/lib'
Oracle sysliblist:
invalid top directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/File/Find.pm line 592.
Running make test
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install

Can someone help?

Thanks,
