What's new in ruby-oci8 1.0.2.

1. add a gemspec file.
(Thanks to Jesse Hu)

To make a pure ruby gems package:
gem build ruby-oci8.gemspec

Hi Kubo,

I failed to install ruby-oci8 gem on Linux.

Error msg:

Building native extensions. This could take a while...

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:

Thanks but connecting and using Oracle DB is not a problem, having a working
ruby-oci8 is :)

Ara gave me the solution, thanks!

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
link<http://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
