Hello all,

I am attempting to install DBD-Oracle-1.20 module for perl and getting the following errors:

C:\>makefile.PL

*** 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.

I am not using any visual C++ or visual studio .NET!

I am using the following perl version:

This is perl, v5.10.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 3 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

Does this mean the oracle module 1.20 has not been tested against perl 5.10?

Thanks in advance
frex

you need visual c++ to to do some compiling while you create a library during the build process.
unless you decide to install a pre-built package for DBD::Oracle

did you read the README [search.cpan.org]?
