Re^4: Error during compilation of 5.8.8 on solaris 10

Sinistral- Per your comment of "Having the library is not sufficient; you need the development headers as well. " Will the 4.2.52.NC-sol10-sparc-local package from sunfreeware install both? This is going on a server that is running an oracle 9i database (production) Do you think there is anything in this package that could adversely affect the functionality of that database. The reason I ask is that the details page of the package discusses how Berkeley DB integrates w/ "Oracle's Overall Embedded database strategy." Since I don't have a non production server to test this package on, i'm a bit nervous. Thanks again- Matt

As you've already tried, it works fine. I am running systems with Oracle and Berkeley DB, and they keep out of each other's way. I even have Perl scripts that use both DBD::Oracle and DB_File in the same script, and there's no problems. The "Oracle's Overall Embedded database strategy" is nice marketing text, but when it comes down to files on the metal, they can happily coexist.	[reply]
