LD_LIBRARY_PATH and Oracle

[James H.]

Greetings.

I'm scratching my head over a problem with LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the
OCI8 (Oracle) gem this morning. Here's the error I'm getting during a
cold deploy with Capistrano:

== BEGIN ==

* executing "cd /var/apps/sred/current && rake db:create
RAILS_ENV=production && rake db:schema:load

== END ==

I'm a little at a loss. I can see that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set when I
SSH into the user I'm using to deploy, and I can verify that I've
logged in correctly.

This http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-930567.html seemed to
be my problem, but the resolution doesn't work.

Can any one offer some insight?

[James H.]

Ah ha! Fixed. Make sure you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the correct path
in /etc/environment. It's not really the "Debian way", but it seems to
get the job done.

Hey guys!

I'm having a similar problem trying to integrate RMagick with my rails
app.

In the online terminal (on my host's server) if I write:

export "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" before
opening the rails console then I can require "RMagick" no problem.

Without adding usr/local/lib to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH I get the error
message described here:
http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-faq.html#loaderror

My question is - where can I edit the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make this
change permanent - at the moment it only works as long as I'm using
the online terminal window?

Thanks

What do you mean by "online terminal window"?

If you really need to add... you have to add: export
"LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" into /etc/profile

But i really dont think is the best choice...
