Hi, I just installed Oracle 10g and Perl 5.10 64 bit. Now I'm trying to install DBD::Oracle, but I'm having problems. I first tried running the makefile.pl and received a message saying nothing in the LIB or INCLUDE path were set, run vcvars.bat to set the paths. I did this but it didn't set any path (using VC++ 2008 express). So I went in and set the paths manually to the lib and include folder in the VC folder directory. Now when I run perl makefile.pl I receive no linker found. And I receive notes that say: no library found for kernal32.lib, user32.lib, gdi32.lib, etc, etc. It then says its writing the makefile, but I dont know if I should continue on or not? Any suggestions?
