Hi,

I am trying to install the oracle drivers for ruby:  
ruby-oci8-0.1.14-mswin32.rb  
When I run the script I get:

C:\downloads\>ruby ruby-oci8-0.1.14-mswin32.rb Copy OCI8.rb to c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/DBD/OCI8 Copy oci8.rb to c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8 Copy oci8lib.so to c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/i386-msvcrt OK? Enter Yes/No: Yes ruby-oci8-0.1.14-mswin32.rb:75: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32]

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual  
way.  
Please contact the application’s support team for more information.

Any suggestions?

I’ve already posted a message to let Kubo know about the issue (I’ve hit  
it  
myself).

If someone has a VC++ 6 compiler (Curt? Heesob?) could you do us a favor  
and  
build the shared object, and then submit it as a patch to the OCI8  
project page?

Thanks,

Dan

I’m not ignoring you, but I hope someone can do this. I am so incredibly  
over-loaded that I don’t even have time to fix some simple problems in  
the  
one-click installer – if I can make it through June I vow never to get  
myself in this position again! ☹

OK, Here is what you want.

Try  
[http://203.238.130.101/~phasis/ruby-oci8-0.1.14-mswin32.rb](http://203.238.130.101/~phasis/ruby-oci8-0.1.14-mswin32.rb)
