So I changed src/testora to assume Oracle 8i. Again the compile fell over with the same error.
Note that $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/*.h does exist. Also we build (compile and link) C/C++ programs on this Unix box (using the OCI libraries).
Could you please advise me what to do? The target environment will be AIX with Oracle 8.1.7. I am also trying to build the Python 2.2.1 release (I used to work with 1.5.2).
Yours sincerely

Hopefully I un-HTMLized the mail :) OK, because you want to build with AIX and Python 2.2.1, I'd suggest tinkering with the setup.py file. I get terribly confused by distutils, but I have had people report success with it :) Anyway, what you want is python setup.py build or python setup.py install and you should be in good shape! I *think* its architecture agnostic enough such that you can build it on AIX without having to do much more than change the linker flags to be non-gcc versions (the current linker flags just try to embed the path to the Oracle libraries in the executable so you don't have to export LD_LIBRARY_PATH). -- Matt Kromer Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com/
