Installing ruby-oci8 on Mac OS X for Rails

[brian....@gmail.com]

I am trying to get Rails to work with an Oracle database running
remotely. Rails will run on Mac OS X. I'm trying to follow the
directions at
http://creativi.st/blog/articles/2005/06/25/rails-oracle-client-on-mac-os-x,
but I get stuck at step 8 (test connection to database). When I try go
on and install the ruby-oci8 bindings, I get this output when trying to
config:

---> lib
---> lib/DBD
---> lib/DBD/OCI8
<--- lib/DBD/OCI8
<--- lib/DBD
<--- lib
---> ext
---> ext/oci8
/usr/bin/ruby /Users/brian/Desktop/ruby-oci8-0.1.13/ext/oci8/extconf.rb
--with-instant-client=/usr/local/oracle/instantclient10_1/
checking for gcc... yes
checking for LP64... no
checking for OCIInitialize()... no
--------------- common error message --------------
If you use Oracle instant client, try with --with-instant-client.

zip package:
ruby setup.rb config --
--with-instant-client=/path/to/instantclient10_1

rpm package:
ruby setup.rb config -- --with-instant-client

The latest version of oraconf.rb may solve the problem.

http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ruby-oci8/ext/oci8/oraconf.rb?cvsroot=ruby-oci8&only_with_tag=MAIN

If it could not be solved, send the following information to
ku...@jiubao.org.

* error messages except 'common error message'.
* last 100 lines of 'ext/oci8/mkmf.log'.
* results of the following commands:
ruby -r rbconfig -e "p Config::CONFIG['host']"
ruby -r rbconfig -e "p Config::CONFIG['CC']"
ruby -r rbconfig -e "p Config::CONFIG['CFLAGS']"
ruby -r rbconfig -e "p Config::CONFIG['LDSHARED']"
ruby -r rbconfig -e "p Config::CONFIG['LDFLAGS']"
ruby -r rbconfig -e "p Config::CONFIG['LIBS']"
ruby -r rbconfig -e "p Config::CONFIG['GNU_LD']"
* if you use gcc:
gcc --print-prog-name=ld
gcc --print-prog-name=as
* on platforms which can use both 32bit/64bit binaries:
file $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle
file `which ruby`
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
echo $LIBPATH # AIX
echo $SHLIB_PATH # HP-UX
------------------ error message ------------------
Could not compile with Oracle instant client.
You may need to set:
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/oracle/instantclient10_1/

Try 'ruby setup.rb --help' for detailed usage.

I tried following the hints it gave there, including updating
oraconf.rb, setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. Any ideas?

Hmm... Do you have an autoreply script for this? The question was about
ruby-oci8, not Rails ;)
