Re: Installing Pro*C on Solaris for Perl DBD:Oracle

Hi:

        I think you can solve this problem by checking out the README.client file provided with the module. Here is what the file says ( just the imp lines. )

....recent versions of Oracle (specifically >=7.3) you may be able to build DBD::Oracle without Pro*C installed by using Oracle supplied oracle.mk file:

        perl Makefile.PL -m $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/oracle.mk (The oracle.mk file might also be found in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/public/)
