I am running R 1.8.1 on a Solaris 8 64-bit machine and using Oracle 9.2.0.4. I noticed that the readme for ROracle lists a problem and suggests the following to work around it: R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--enable-extralibs' ROracle_0.5-4.tar.gz I ran the following to install since we have 32-bit R and 64-bit Oracle: R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--enable-oracle32--enable-extralibs' ROracle_0.5-4.tar.gz I receive no errors during the install, but when I try to load the package I receive the following error (which is very similar to the one listed in the readme):> library(ROracle)Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library "/usr/local/lib/R/library/ROracle/libs/ROr acle.so": ld.so.1: /usr/local/lib/R/bin/R.bin: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/lib/R/library/ROracle/libs/ROracle.so: symbol sqlcxt: referenced symbol not found Error in library(ROracle) : .First.lib failed Has anyone else experienced this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Joan Joan Snodgrass <joans at breastcenter.tmc.edu>
