UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I am tring to install DBD::Oracle on Solaris 9 box, I issued command
type cc
type gcc
but both are not found.
then i manually searched for gcc, i found it and create a symbolic link to it in my directory.
$ perl Makefile.pl
(works ok)
$ make
(retuns error below)
LD_RUN_PATH="" cc -G DBI.o -o blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.so
cc: DBI.o: No such file or directory
cc: no input files
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.so'

could it be that my gcc is not valid?
or that I am missing some configuration issues(I have read the README file) ?
...Any help/suggestion/idea/response will be gladly appreciated.

The compiler is telling you that it cannot find the file DBI.o, which it needs to build your application. If you cannot find it on your machine then you need to get hold of a copy and install it somewhere (preferably somewhere sensible like /usr/local/lib/ where the compiler will find it).
If it is already on your system you will need to tell the compiler where it is (maybe there are configuration options for this? Or I think gcc reads the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable).
