Re: ERROR OCIEnvInit by e_crewe

Hi,

I had this problem in that I had both oracle 8 and 9 libraries on my box.
You need to install DBD::Oracle against the one you are using by setting
the environment variables to version of the oracle client you are using to
connect e.g.
ORACLE_BASE=/usr/local/Ora8Inventory
ORACLE_HOME=/usr/local/oracle-8.1.7.0.1
and then make sure that this is in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/lib

On reinstalling DBD::Oracle e.g.

perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan>force install DBD::Oracle

it should be OK
(fingers crossed)
