Install DBD::Oracle
(Confirmed with CentOS5.5, CentOS5.7)
Note that I installed the Perl module DBD::Oracle.
The following libraries were required to install DBD::Oracle.
oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.2.0.i386.rpm oracle-instantclient11.2-devel-11.2.0.2.0.i386.rpm oracle-instantclient11.2-sqlplus-11.2.0.2.0.i386.rpm
You can download it from the Oracle site, but user registration is required. ..
Then install these rpm packages.
rpm -hiv oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.2.0.i386.rpm rpm -hiv oracle-instantclient11.2-devel-11.2.0.2.0.i386.rpm rpm -hiv oracle-instantclient11.2-sqlplus-11.2.0.2.0.i386.rpm
Next, set the required environment variable.
vi /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh
Add the following settings to the above empty file.
export ORACLE_HOME = '/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client' export C_INCLUDE_PATH = '/usr/include/oracle/11.2/client' export LD_LIBRARY_PATH = '/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/lib'
Next, set the library.
vi /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle.conf
Add the following items to the above empty file.
/usr/lib/oracle/112/client/lib
In this state, restart the terminal to reflect the environment variable.
All you have to do now is install it with the cpan command.
cpan DBD::oracle
