it's part of the same initialization scripts that set ORACLE_SID. You  
can always set it by hand too.

I can't do much from a screenshot. You'll have to capture the error  
output into a file and send me that file, or copy and paste the entire  
log.

Based on the limited number of lines the screenshot shows, my  
suspicion would be that you running an old version of BioPerl. You  
will need to have v1.5.2 at least.

BioSQL doesn't have any compiled code, only scripts, and likewise  
Bioperl-db, so compiler problems can't be responsible for this (unless  
your DBD::Oracle driver fails to even load).
