Hi all,
We are doing an installation of TeamSite 6.5 on Solaris with Oracle as DB.
Following is the environment details.
bash-3.1# uname -a
Environment
==========
SunOS banghicom-testscjp-intrwvn 5.8 Generic_117350-35 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4
GCC:
====
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.2
Oracle
=====
bash-3.1# sqlplus
SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.6.0 - 64 Bit
The iwperl bundled with TeamSite 6.5 is perl 5.8.2.
Problem:
=======
We installed DBI-1.50 and are in the process of
installing DBD for Oracle (DBD-Oracle-1.16). We are hitting road blocks.
My understanding from different sources on the net is that the perl that we use to build DBD should have been built with the same 'environment settings' as the one where DBD should be installed.
'environment settings' here refers to specifics like compiiler flag settings, GCC version, Solaris Version and associated libraries et. al.
Based on this assumption, we tried to probe the details of iw-perl that comes with TS6.5.
From the details, it is understood that the iwperl was built on Sun OS5.6 with gccversion=2.95.2
Questions to the group
===================
(1) Is it **absoulutely necessary** that we Build our own perl for the DBD installation to be successful?
(2) If step(1) is true, how can iwperl be re-built. I guess this is far from possible as this is shipped as binary with TS6.
(3) If the anser to (1) is false, what is the work around to get the perl to use the same settings as was used to build it in the first place.
(4)Will using GCC 2.95.2 in my Solaris box (instead of current GCC 3.4.2) help in any way ?
(5)What are the other settings that I need to take care of to complete a successful build and install of DBD-Oracle-1.16 ?
Those of you who have managed to install DBD-Oracle-1.16 on Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 with Oracle 9 , please guide me here.
Thanks.
Mohit.
