Hello, I’m trying to run rails on a Solaris 10 box with Ruby/OCI8, but I’m getting the following errors when trying to start up. # script/server =\> Booting WEBrick… /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.2/lib/commands/servers/ webrick.rb:49:in `[]=': failed to allocate memory (NoMemoryError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.2/lib/ commands/servers/webrick.rb:49 from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ custom_require.rb:21:in`require’ from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/ lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:147:in `require' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.2/lib/ commands/server.rb:30 from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ custom_require.rb:21:in`require’ from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/ lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:147:in `require’ from script/server:3 # script/console /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.2/lib/commands/console.rb: 18:in `[]=': failed to allocate memory (NoMemoryError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.2/lib/ commands/console.rb:18 from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ custom_require.rb:21:in`require’ from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/ lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:147:in `require’ from script/console:3 I only get the error after installing Ruby/OCI8. Rails 1.1.2 Oracle Instant Client 10.2 Ruby/OCI8 0.1.15 There is plenty of free memory on the system. Any ideas? Thanks, Dave ---

I can’t imagine why it occurs. But it may be caused by a change in 0.1.15. How about reverting the change? ## vi ext/oci8/oci8.c void Init\_oci8lib() { #ifndef \_WIN32 ← delete ruby\_setenv(“”, NULL); /\* duplicate environ vars \*/ ← delete #endif ← delete ## /\* Handle \*/ cOCIHandle = rb\_define\_class(“OCIHandle”, rb\_cObject); If this is the cause, I must release 0.1.15.1. – KUBO Takehiro email: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid web: [http://www.jiubao.org](http://www.jiubao.org) GnuPG fingerprint = 5F7B C8EF CA16 57D0 FDE1 9F47 C001 1F93 AC08 2262 ---

Thanks for your help! Adding the code to oci8.rb works. -Dave On Apr 30, 2006, at 7:37 AM, KUBO Takehiro wrote: > (snip) > > > > Any ideas? > > > ENV[‘ORA\_NLS10’] = “” if ENV[‘ORA\_NLS10’].nil? > > > GnuPG fingerprint = 5F7B C8EF CA16 57D0 FDE1 9F47 C001 1F93 AC08 2262 > > * * * > > Rails mailing list > removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid > [http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails](http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails) – David P.

But it may be caused by a change in > 0.1.15. How about reverting the change? No. It doesn’t solve. Add the following code to the top of ‘/usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/oci8.rb’ ENV[‘ORA\_NLS\_PROFILE33’] = “” if ENV[‘ORA\_NLS\_PROFILE33’].nil? ENV[‘ORA\_NLS10’] = “” if ENV[‘ORA\_NLS10’].nil? ENV[‘ORACLE\_HOME’] = “.” if ENV[‘ORACLE\_HOME’].nil? Instant Client set these environment variables if they aren’t set. If the key name is a new one, it causes problem. So set the same key in advance. – KUBO Takehiro email: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid web: [http://www.jiubao.org](http://www.jiubao.org) GnuPG fingerprint = 5F7B C8EF CA16 57D0 FDE1 9F47 C001 1F93 AC08 2262
