hi all,
i'm trying to install DBI/DBD on a HP-UX hppharm1 B.10.20 E 9000/879
with 
Using Oracle in /oracle/system
2.1.6.2.0            PL/SQL V2        
7.1.6.2.0            ORACLE7 Server (RDBMS)        
1.6.7.0.0            Pro*C 1.6        

everything is fine up to the moment i try to make test:
i don't care about the long error, but the bind_param error.

what do i need to do?
 TIA

Your version of Oracle 7 OCI has a bug that affects fetching LONG data.
See the t/long.t script near lines 169 217 for more information.
You can safely ignore this if: You don't fetch data from LONG fields;
Or the LONG data you fetch is never longer than 65535 bytes long;
OCI7 buffer overwite bug detected
Or you only fetch one LONG record in the life of a statement handle.
