in thread dbd::oracle compile problem

Ok, what compiler was your perl built under? (This can be found out with perl -V).

I see "cc" as the compiler you're trying to use for dbd::oracle - what compiler is that?

Exactly *what* is the "it" that doesn't recognize -fPIC? Where'd you put that flag?

Did you check your Makefile? Did you google around for the problem with the hints I've given you?

      Ok, so you're appparently using ActiveState Perl on Solaris. I'm sure you've checked here: PPM Repository Page and saw that DBD::Oracle isn't distributed via PPM. Rats.

      I also see that perl was compiled using the -KPIC CC flag. (BTW, that's not a flag you pass to make - it's a flag to cc, whichever cc you're using, and it's defined in the Makefile on a line that begins CCFLAGS=).

      I no longer have Solaris available to me, nor on any platform do I use ActiveState, so I believe you've run to the end of my help.

      ActiveState more than likely has support forums for people using the free ActiveState. If you've purchased it, though - you're in luck, because you also bought some commercial support.

      If all else fails, I wholeheartedly recommend entering a few of these terms in google, hit "search", and click around on a few of the links returned.

      And if you haven't already, please read the readme that came included with DBD::Oracle - I'm sure they have some tips there as well.

      . . .

      Oh, looky, there IS a README there, with a big section on "IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS:".

        HAHA, you know the problem was, the hidden Control M characters in some of the c files. I am not sure how it got in the first place, well that did the trick, I am able to compile now.
