Problem with DBD-Oracle Install

vmcooper — Wed, 07 May 2008 19:02:47 +0100

I'm using Perl 5.8.8, build 822. I'm trying to install DBD-Oracle 1.17 using PPM. I receive the following error after the package is decompressed and after the licensing text displays.

unable to realloc 8232971 bytes

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

After this, when I try to call it up I get the following error in my server log file.

2008-05-07 12:04:32 cgi: runCGI (stderr):install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.dll' for module DBD::Oracle: load_file:The specified module could not be found at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 229.

The file is actually present right where it indicates that it is looking.

I would appreciate any assistance anyone could give me in getting over this little hurddle. The machine has 2 gigs of memory, most of which is unallocated when this error occurs.

Thanks!!
