DBD-Oracle-0.46 Red Hat Linux - Oracle Installation.

Subject: DBD-Oracle-0.46 Red Hat Linux - Oracle Installation.

Can you help me with this one.

This is the problem we are facing when we try to install DBD-Oracle 0.46 on a Red Hat Linux 5.2 Workstation on a pentium machine.

it say unable to locate an oracle.mk or proc.mk file in your Oracle installation .(Looked in
u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/rdbms/lib/oracle/mk
/u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/proc/lib/proc.mk).

--
This is the sequence in which the software was installed on the Linux m/c-
Sequence-1:
Oracle along with Oracle RDBMS Product and the Oracle Pro*C Product was installed successfully.

Sequence-2:
Installed the DBI-0.90 drivers successfully

Sequence-3:
This is where the trouble started. Below is the extract of the output on screen-

[oracle_at_test DBD-Oracle-0.46]$ perl Makefile.PL Configuring DBD::Oracle ...

Using Oracle in /u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.5

    Unable to locate an oracle.mk or proc.mk file in your Oracle installation.

    (Looked in /u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/rdbms/lib/oracle.mk
/u01/app/oracle
/product/8.0.5/rdbms/demo/oracle.mk
/u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/proc/lib/proc.
mk /u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/precomp/demo/proc/proc.mk
/u01/app/oracle/produ

ct/8.0.5/proc16/lib/proc16.mk)

    The oracle.mk file is part of the Oracle RDBMS product. The     proc.mk file is part of the Oracle Pro*C product. You need to     build DBD::Oracle on a system which has one of these installed.

    If your oracle.mk or proc.mk file is installed somewhere     non-standard you can specify where it is using the -m option:

            perl Makefile.PL -m /path/to/your.mk

    See README.clients for more information and some alternatives.

I looked for the oracle.mk and the proc.mk file using the 'find' command, but both of them were not created. They do not exist.

I am sure that I installed Oracle correctly, because I can run the 'lsnrctl start' command for network access and also start the Oracle database and 'sqlplus' successfully. I even connected to the ORCL database using Visual Basic by setting the system DSN and also with Developer2000.
Does this have to do with a bad installation program?

Any help from anyone out there would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!
