Our Zope 2.4.3 install is running on a SuSE Linux 7.3 server and we want to connect to an Oracle database which is sitting on a different server; a Sun Solaris based machine running OS 5.8 with Oracle Enterprise Edition 8.1.7.0 installed. We have downloaded the DCOracle2 product (for Red Hat Linux 7.1, Python 2.1) but we aren't using Red Hat and we seem unable to get the product to install properly. It complains about the ORACLE_HOME. Also, skimming through the documentation is extremely confusing. As far as we can tell, the docs seem to assume that the Oracle Database is installed (or to be installed) on the same server as the one that runs Zope. In our scenario, this isn't the case. Basically, how can we discover the correct ORACLE_HOME info from the Sun box and what else do we need to do with DCOracle2 to get it connecting to our Oracle database? (We know very little about Oracle if you can't tell already!). Richard H.
