I've just put together a setup file for Oracle 8.1.6. I started with including all the libraries in Oracle's library directory and then removed the ones that gave me errors. It works fine except for when I present an SQL query with a syntax error. That makes Zope crash. Anybody know why? -- Kiran Jonnalagadda http://lunateks.com baby.sh: while true; do echo "^G^G^G^G^G"; sed -e 's/food/poop/'; sync; sync; sleep 15; done *shared* # Setup file for Oracle 8.1.6 (Tested for Linux on Intel). # # Unfortunately, the libraries needed to link Oracle change from revision # to revision. # # Oracle provides a make file for building "demo" programs in # $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/demo_rdbms.mk.
