Installation error for Oracle DBI module for perl?

Question

I get the error oci.h missing on running the installation:
cpan DBD::Oracle on OS X 10.8.

How can I fix this?

The specific error message is:

/usr/bin/perl -p -e "s/~DRIVER~/Oracle/g" /Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-  2level/auto/DBI/Driver.xst > Oracle.xsi

/usr/bin/perl /System/Library/Perl/5.12/ExtUtils/xsubpp  -typemap /System/Library/Perl/5.12/ExtUtils/typemap -typemap typemap  Oracle.xs > Oracle.xsc && mv Oracle.xsc Oracle.c

I had the same issue and I managed to solve it by adding the include directory of the oracle instance client sdk to C_INCLUDE_PATH env variable and installing it from the source directory:

tar xzf DBD-Oracle-1.74.tar.gz
cd DBD-Oracle-1.74
export C_INCLUDE_PATH="/opt/oracle/instantclient_12_2/sdk/include" 
perl Makefile.PL 
make 
make install

It looks like you're trying to install DBD::Oracle without having installed the appropriate Oracle client prerequisite. Consult DBD::Oracle::Troubleshooting::Macos, DBD::Oracle installation nodes, ensure that the require environment variables are setup. It's easier to install this module outside of the cpan tool.
