I'm having some trouble compiling DCOracle on my RedHat 6.1 machine. I am using the latest DCOracle 1.3.2 and python 1.5.2. I used the included Setup-8.1.5 file with the addition of one library to the *ORACLE_Includes* list: -I$(ORACLE_HOME)/rdbms/public The output from *make* had a number of errors, but compiled the shared objects: gcc -fPIC -I/oradisk01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/rdbms/demo -I/oradisk01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/rdbms/public -I/oradisk01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/network/public -I/oradisk01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/plsql/public -DDCORACLE8 -g -O2 -I/usr/include/python1.5 -I/usr/include/python1.5 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./oci_.c In file included from ./oci_.c:566: Buffer.h:79: warning: static declaration for `PyImport_Import' follows non-static ./oci_.c: In function `_wrap_odescr': ./oci_.c:2599: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type gcc -shared oci_.o -L/oradisk01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/lib/ -L/oradisk01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/rdbms/lib /oradisk01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/rdbms/lib/defopt.o -o oci_.so gcc -fPIC -g -O2 -I/usr/include/python1.5 -I/usr/include/python1.5 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./Buffer.c In file included from ./Buffer.c:60: Buffer.h:79: warning: static declaration for `PyImport_Import' follows non-static gcc -shared Buffer.o -o Buffer.so Testing the created shared object files went something like this: [sweetrig@shamalama src]# python DCOracle_test.py Traceback (innermost last): File "DCOracle_test.py", line 1, in ? import Buffer, oci_, sys ImportError: libclntsh.so.8.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I have tried a number of setup files that were on this list for Oracle 8.1.6 and all have produced errors. Any help appreciated. -- Erik Myllymaki erik@pacific-shores.com
