Ruby Forum JRuby > jruby 1.1.1 and oracle thin client

Hi,

I have done the following:
- installed JRuby 1.1.1 (added the JAVA_HOME variable to the PATH)
- installed the Oracle 8 Thin client files (and added the appropriate
location to the PATH system variable)
- installed the Ruby Oracle interface files:
C:>jruby oci8-1.0.0-mswin32.rb (I am using Windows VISTA)
this copied the OCI8.rb to .../site_ruby/1.8/DBD/OCI8
this copied the oci8.rb to .../site_ruby/1.8
this copied the oci8lib.so to .../site_ruby/1.8/java

But when it is time to run the program that has require 'oci8', I get
the following error:
-- no such file to load -- oci8lib (LoadError)

I have all this working with Ruby...and the only difference I can see is
that the oci8lib.so file is copied to ...site_ruby/1.8/i386-msvcrt
instead. This difference seems appropriate.

Any help?

Thanks!

JRuby does not support the normal Ruby C extensions, unfortunately, but
you can just use Oracle JDBC drivers or ActiveRecord+Oracle JDBC.
