Okay, so I was trying to install a combination of the CGI module, DBI module, and DBD::Oracle driver using CPANM on a 64bit Solaris 11 machine with an Oracle11g database.
I installed that latest version of Perl using Perlbrew, updated CPANM, and then did the following…
cpanm -v -f -i CGI
cpanm -v -f -i DBI
And both of those modules installed fine, the DBI did have a small test error (t/zvxnp_85gofer.t) when I tried to install it normally, but the force install seemed to work.
So then I went to try to install the final part that I needed:
cpanm -v -f -i DBD::Oracle
And this was the error that came out towards the end of the installation…
Running Mkbootstrap for DBD::Oracle ()

! Installing DBD::Oracle failed. See /home/oracle/.cpanm/build.log for details.
I’m guessing just from the wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 it has to do with some mismatch between the 64 bit binaries that exist and that this driver requires the 32 bit binaries to install? Some research has indicated that I need to find the lib32 directory to continue the installation, but I can’t seem to find it.
I did:
echo $ORACLE_HOME —> /opt/oracle/rdbms
ls $ORACLE_HOME
That returned the following directories…
apex emcli mgw rdbms
assistants has network relnotes
bin hs nls root.sh
ccr ide oc4j scheduler
cdata install odbc slax
cfgtoollogs install.platform olap sqldeveloper
clone instantclient ons sqlj

ctx jdev ord ucp
cv jdk oui uix
dbs jlib owb utl
dc_ocm ldap owm wwg
deinstall lib64 perl xdk
demo log plsql
diagnostics md precomp
dv mesg racg
So I see a lib64, but no lib or lib32. Has anyone ever had this problem before, found a solution to it, or know how I could continue from here?
I had the same issue. Fixed it by doing
./Configure -es -Dprefix=$HOME/usr/local -Dcc=gcc -Duse64bitall -Dusethreadsfor perl install
