I just installed Fedora core1 and installed the latest version of the DBI module. When I they to connect to an Oracle Database on another server(there is no local install of oracle on the server) I get an install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't locate DBD/Oracle.pm in @INC (see the bottom for the full error.) So then I download the DBD::Oracle module and install it but I get this error when I do the perl Makefile.PL: Multiple copies of Driver.xst found in:....(see the bottom for the full error.)

I think I'm having an oracle driver problem but I do not know how to solve it. Any suggestions?

Perhaps the DBD::Oracle perl module hasn't been fully installed,
or perhaps the capitalisation of 'Oracle' isn't right.
Available drivers: ExampleP, Pg, Proxy, Sponge, mysql.

 Configuring DBD::Oracle ...



>>>     Remember to actually *READ* the README file!

        Especially if you have any problems.

  The ORACLE_HOME environment variable must be set.

  It must be set to hold the path to an Oracle installation directory

  on this machine (or a machine with a compatible architecture).

  See the README.clients file for more information.

  ABORTED!
