similar to: Installing Ruby-Oci8 driver on Redhat Linux

I''m trying to build the ruby-oci8 with the Oracle Instant Client on OS X. The Instant Client works, and the make seems to be ok with it up until OCIInitialize(). Anybody got this to work? [relevant output] /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby / Users/dmholmes/Desktop/ruby-oci8-1.0.0-rc2/ext/oci8/extconf.rb checking for load library path...

All of a sudden, on three different systems, the "server_ip_address/sid_name" syntax in database.yml has stopped working for me. I can''t even do a OCI8.new(blah blah blah) statement from an IRB shell. I get "ORA-12541: TNS:no listener", or some variant, depending on how I phrase it. On systems where I have a real deal client installed, and OCI can find the tnsnames

I''m trying to get ActiveRecord working with an Oracle DB over the instant client. On a 32bit machine, I can require ''oci8'': Linux xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 2.6.9-78.0.17.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Mar 5 04:52:17 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux irb(main):001:0> require ''oci8'' => true However, on a 64bit machine: Linux xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Tue

Here''s a solution to the OCI8 problem shown below (change /usr/local/oracle to your site''s oracle): If this happens when you are running scripts at the shell prompt: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/oracle/lib If this happens in your apache error_log, add to httpd.conf: SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/oracle/lib Kevin Kleinfelter If it''s not documented,

Hello folks. I''m new in Ruby also ROR. I installed oracle intant client and test it it works fine. Now I wanna connect to oracle db. But its got some error. like this *custom_require.rb:36:in `require'': cannot load such file -- oci8 (LoadError)* my code is here. require ''oci8'' oci =

Hi, Environment: Solaris 10, Orale 10g, Apache 2.2, Ruby 1.8.4, Rails 1.2.3, Ruby OCI8 1.0.0-rc2 As soon as I compiled and installed the Ruby/OCI8 interface, I got the following error from my application: ========================= [notice] mod_fcgid: call /export/home/invido/invido/portal2/public/ dispatch.fcgi with wrapper /usr/local/bin/ruby /export/home/invido/

Is rails + oci8 + mac os x intel a winning combination? It appears that oci8 might be a issue.

I am attempting to connect to ORACLE11g however i am getting the following error: "OCI Library Initialization Error" IT always errors on OCIENV.init(). I cant see anything wrong on the ENV configurations. Has anyone had this problem, or any suggestions on where i should look for anwers? I am using the following gems: ruby-oci8 (1.0.4) activerecord-oracle-adapter (1.0.0.9250)

I feel stupid having to ask this, but I haven''t found an answer. I installed ruby-oci8 in order to load data from an oracle db into postgres (part of a jsp to rails conversion). In order to run my ruby script I know I need to set ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables to get it to work (and it does work). I''ve tried setting ENV[''ORACLE_HOME'']

Hi, I''m having problems running my rails application in the following setup Unix/Apache/FastCgi/Oracle10g. I had my app running quite happy until I installed the OCI8 driver. When I try to load the app I get in the apache logs the famous "undefined method ''define_a_column'' for class OCI8:Cursor (NameError)" I think the problem is with the fastcgi set up

Hi All, I have a problem in connecting to oracle and here is the steps i''ve been going through (i''m using the regular oracle8 client, not the instant one): 1. i installed the one-click ruby installer (ruby184-16p3 windows.exe) 2. i installed the rails-1.0.0 framework using gem successfully 3. i tried connecting to oracle using all possible combination in the database.yml file

Has anyone experienced "hangs" with the WEBrick/OCI8 combination? The sequence of actions I perform to consistently get WEBrick to hang is: 1. start WEBrick 2. list a table form my Oracle 10g DB 3. startup sqlplus and update a few records in the table 4. go back to my browser and reload the table Here none of the chances I made directly to the table are reflected in the listing.

Has anyone looked into having ActiveRecord use Oracle bind vars? I don''t know if the same concept is supported in other dbs, but Oracle''s OCI driver supports late binding with dramatically improved performance. I did a quick test to confirm that I could expect the same performance improvement through the Ruby OCI8 driver, and in a simple test it looks to be a 5x improvement.

Hi folks, Does anyone know how to install the OCI8 ruby interface on Debian64 without having to install Oracle? My understanding, from experience with Debian i386, is that you need Oracle (specifically the SQLPlus) installed to be able to compile OCI8. Since my new dev machine is AMD64 running Debian, I''m stuck. My rails applications need to connect to a remote Oracle 10g, but cannot

I am attempting to build php with oracle oci8 support. I've installed the oracle installclient basic and devel rpms. When kicking off the srpm buid I am using the following... rpmbuild --with oci8 --rebuild php-4.3.9-3.8.src.rpm While on an FC 4 box this works and I end up with a php-oci8 pkg that is fully functional. However on CentOS 4.1 the build isn't actually building with oci8
