I cannot build and install Oracle Instant Client 19.8 on macOS Big Sur 11.2.1. I get the following error:

I am trying to install the module Net::Pcap. Here is what I have done:

I have a development laptop (Mint 19.3), and a test server (Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS).

The laptop is Docker version 19.03.5, build 633a0ea838, the server is Docker version 19.03.12, build 48a66213fe

I'm running Python 3.6 code inside the container, which uses subprocess (code below) to create an sshfs mount to a third server, after which the python code walks through the mounted directory.

Everything works fine on my development laptop. But on the server, the directory mounts (and is seen with the mount command) however cd'ing into the directory just hangs, and the Python code's subsequent walk just hangs. (NOTE: The python code never crashes or errors out. It just hangs forever.)

HOWEVER, if I manually use the same sshfs command at the container's command line, the directory works fine.

I'm at a loss as to how to troubleshoot this.

===2020-09-25 UPDATE===

OK. Since the Python code uses subprocess, the sshfs mount is obviously available to any terminal windows that wants to use it.

I have tried accessing the mount from a new terminal window inside the container, but when I cd to the mount - the window just freezes.

Well, I left everything sitting overnight - and now when I try to cd into the mount ... it works. It's like the mount has to sit for hours before it will work.

Any ideas?

Python code

I'm running macOS Catalina 10.15.7 and I need to install Oracle Instant Client to run run a Perl script that connects to a DB.

I downloaded the packages I needed:

• Basic Light Package (DMG)
• SDK Package (DMG)
• ODBC Package (DMG)

From Instant Client 19.8 and followed the installation instructions without any issues (just copying and pasting)

The files are extracted in /Users/username/Downloads/instantclient_19_8

Next, I did set ORACLE_HOME to /Users/username/Downloads/instantclient_19_8

I'm having troubles installing the Net::Amazon::S3 package for perl on my Win 10 machine running 32 bit Strawberry Perl.

I try to install the package with cpanm:

I'm trying to build a Docker container for this module. Main idea is that I'm trying to use, as much as possible, the packages provided by Ubuntu to avoid problem; I'm also using the default perl that comes with the container, which apparently is 5.22.

This is the Dockerfile:

I am trying to install the Perl package Vcf, which has a LOT of dependencies. One of these dependencies DB_File will not install.

On my mac OS X machine Darwin maci 15.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 15.6.0

I have installed libxml2 and libxslt in following custom directory

/usr/local/MyLibs/libxml2-2.9.2

and libxslt

/usr/local/MyLibs/libxslt-1.1.29

Now I want to use these libs to build my CPANM module XML::LibXSLT.

This tells me that I can do so using --configure-args (its still experimental). So I do something like,
