Hi Kubo,

I failed to install ruby-oci8 gem on Linux.

Error msg:

Building native extensions. This could take a while…
ERROR: Error installing ruby-oci8:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

That is looking very nice, thanks. Does that mean that I can install it
on
MacOS X/Intel which has no Oracle native client/libraries?

Thanks,

No. It needs Oracle client libraries and a C compiler.
I may confuse you. What should I refer to no-binary gem as?

Is it an instant client rpm package?
I guess you didn’t export LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
To check it, could you try the gem in the following URL?
http://www.jiubao.org/tmp/ruby-oci8-1.0.2.gem

It prints more information on checking LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

You need to clarify what are the differences between a “pure ruby gem”
and a
binary one then.

Does anyone know BTW how to get some kind of Oracle client for MacOS X?

Thanks.

I use the Oracle SQL Developer tool:

Hi Kubo,

Thanks. Actually I export LD_LIBRARY_PATH for non-root user but not for
root. Now it works following these steps:

  • su - root
  • rpm -ivh oracle-instantclient-basic-11.1.0.1-1.rpm
    oracle-instantclient-devel-11.1.0.1-1.rpm (download
    linkhttp://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html;
    or
    install oracle full client)
  • export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/
    11.1.0.1/client/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  • cd /usr/lib/oracle/11.1.0.1/client/lib
  • ln -s libclntsh.so.11.1 libclntsh.so
  • gem install ruby-oci8
