I am trying to install DBD:Oracle.
I'm in the following environment:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.8 (Ootpa) Perl v5.26.3
Our DBA installed the Oracle 19 client in this location: /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/client_1
I have the following environment variables set up:
ORACLE_HOME="/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/client_1"
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin:/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/client_1/bin"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=":/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/client_1/lib"
When I run cpan install DBD::Oracle as root, I get a bunch of compiler warnings, and the linker fails with this error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnsl
I'm at a loss with how to proceed. Any advice would be appreciated.
Here's the output of the cpan command:
