My company''s System-admin installed Ruby and Gems (using Sun Coolstack package) and I have sudo access to ruby, gem etc. Now I need to get my app to talk to oracle db (through network). From what I understand, it requires three steps: Step 1: Install oracle instant client ( I installed it in my ~/oracle/ instantclient_11_1) Step2: Install OCI8 libraries (this is where I am stuck). Here is the error message: ***********ERROR MESSAGE*************** bash-3.00$ sudo gem install ruby-oci8 Building native extensions. This could take a while...

Sorry, what did you mean by this? ** Does it work if you try "sudo gem install ruby-oci -- --with-instant- client" ? ** sudo gem install ruby-oci -- --with-instant-client (Is the syntax correct? I get error when I paste it as it is) Also, I think when I do "sudo", the path information is not passed.

Failing that you can augment your PATH by doing: export PATH="/path/to/new/stuff:$PATH" -- Greg Donald http://destiney.com/
No, I can''t become su - root. If it''s something very critical, I can request SA (root) for his time. But I don''t know when he''d be free. So, my questions: 1. Do you think it''s a compiler (cc) issue ? It does say "C compiler doesn''t work correctly". I already have gcc in path. I also created a symbolic link cc -> gcc 2. It does find Oracle Instant Client in the directory bash-3.00$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/ssl/lib/:/usr/local/lib/:/export/home/roradmin1/oracle/ instantclient_11_1 bash-3.00$ bash-3.00$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH_32 /usr/local/ssl/lib/:/usr/local/lib/:/export/home/roradmin1/oracle/ instantclient_11_1 Thanks., On Sep 16, 4:35 pm, Greg Donald <gdon...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 6:30 PM, catel1 <techie1...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > Sorry, what did you mean by this? > > ** > > Does it work if you try "sudo gem install ruby-oci -- --with-instant- > > client" ? > > ** > > > sudo gem install ruby-oci -- --with-instant-client > > (Is the syntax correct?

Just to let everyone know. This problem has been FIXED. Here is what I did: 1. install Sun Studio 12.1 2. edited rbconfig.rb and included path of sun''s "cc" compiler that came with Sun Studio. and then it started working fine.
