[Chicago-talk] Trouble compiling DBD::Oracle for Fedora core 8

[chris long]

I followed your instructions. Make does seem to generate *successful  
build output*. However, when I try 'make test' or 'make install' I  
receive the same error output that I indicated in my first post,  
regarding "_crypt_struct' errors..

I also tried a test script to :

use DBD::Oracle;

The terminal replies:

Can't locate DBD/Oracle.pm in @INC

so doest that indicate that DBD:Oracle is not installed?

Thanks-Chris
