The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

This could help: http://search.cpan.org/src/PYTHIAN/DBD-Oracle-1.17/README.win32.txt
Specifically it notes that Oracle Instant Client must be installed before you install DBD::Orcale. I think this is the problem as the DBD module looks for the presence of some Oracle client libraries before proceeding.

I have both Oracle 10g and Oracle DevSuite installed but I will install the client as well and see what happens.

When I have problems with installing via ppm, I switch to installing via cpan and let it build/install the module from source.

perl -MCPAN -e "install DBD-Oracle"

If you've never used the cpan module, you'll first need to run the shell and it will "walk" you through its configuration.  Before you do this, you'll need to download/install Microsoft's nmake.  Here's the download link.  http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/patch/1.52/w95/en-us/nmake15.exe
After executing the file, move the files to you perl/bin directory and then run the cpan shell.  Here's a little more info on it. http://johnbokma.com/perl/make-for-windows.html

enter the cpan shell with this command.
perl -MCPAN -e shell

As you step through the configuration, one of the options is what it should do about the dependencies.  The prompt looks like this:

The CPAN module can detect when a module that which you are trying to
build depends on prerequisites. If this happens, it can build the
prerequisites for you automatically ('follow'), ask you for
confirmation ('ask'), or just ignore them ('ignore'). Please set your
policy to one of the three values.

Policy on building prerequisites (follow, ask or ignore)? [ask]

Hi Fishmonger, did as you suggested however trying to install DBD-Oracle returned the following.

cpan> install DBD-Oracle

Hi Fishmonger, I'm thinking of changing my handle to Greengrocer :)

did as above things looked good until this....
DBD-Oracle-1.17/Makefile.PL

  CPAN.pm: Going to build P/PY/PYTHIAN/DBD-Oracle-1.17.tar.gz

*** You're using Microsoft Visual C++ compiler or similar but
    the LIB and INCLUDE environment variables are not both set.

    You need to run the VCVARS32.BAT batch file that was supplied
    with the compiler before you can use it.

    A copy of vcvars32.bat can typically be found in the following
    directories under your Visual Studio install directory:
        Visual C++ 6.0:     vc98\bin
        Visual Studio .NET: vc7\bin

    Find it, run it, then retry this.

    If you think this error is not correct then just set the LIB and
    INCLUDE environment variables to some value to disable the check.
Running make test
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install

I thought nmake would be doing the compiling, nmake.exe and nmake.err are in c:\perl\bin
