Hello,

I would like to install DBD-Oracle 1.14 on the Solaris 7 machine with perl 5.6.1, no Oracle.
First I've tried with ppm but it doesn't work, ppm can only find following packages:

PPM interactive shell (2.1.5) - type 'help' for available commands. PPM> search Oracle
Packages available from

http://ppm.ActiveState.com/cgibin/PPM/ppmserver.pl?urn:/PPMServer:
DBIx-OracleSequence [0.04] interface to Oracle sequences via DBI.
DDL-Oracle          [1.11] a DDL generator for Oracle databases

Then I've download the package DBD-Oracle-1.14.tar. But I need the installation of DBD-Oracle on a machine, that doesn't have Oracle installation. I have following message (I've set the ORACLE_HOME to directory from real Oracle installation - other machine in our network):

# perl Makefile.PL
Using DBI 1.37 installed in
/usr/local/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris-thread-multi/auto/DBI

 Configuring DBD::Oracle ...

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

        Especially if you have any problems.

  The ORACLE_HOME environment variable value (/ora/product/817) is not valid.
  It must be set to hold the path to an Oracle installation directory   on this machine (or a compatible archtecture).   See the README.clients file for more information.
  ABORTED! What can I do to install DBD-Oracle?

Thanks a lot for any help
Tomasz Wrona
