Hi, Here's what I did... MDR is my Meta-Data Repository, running Oracle 8.0.5 for Linux with Python 1.5.1. Change your user/passwd and instance.world to match your installation. Sorry, haven't gotten to Zope.1.10 yet... ----------------------------------------------------------- echo "/-------------------------\\" echo "| Making Zope 1.9 for MDR |" echo "\\------------------------/" echo cd /usr/local/src rm -rf Zope-1.9.0-src tar xvfz gz/Zope-1.9.0-src.tar.gz cd Zope-1.9.0-src tar xvfz ../gz/ZOracleDA-2.0.0-nonbin.tar.gz python wo_pcgi.py ----------------------------------------------------------- To make DCOracle available to general Python programs... ----------------------------------------------------------- echo "/-------------------------------\\" echo "| Making DCOracle 1.1.0 for MDR |" echo "\\-------------------------------/" echo cd /usr/local/src rm -rf DCOracle-1.1.0-nonbin tar xvfz gz/DCOracle-1.1.0-nonbin.tgz cd DCOracle-1.1.0-nonbin/src cp Setup-8.0.4 Setup-8.0.5 echo "- create Setup-8.0.5" ed Setup-8.0.5 << EOF /-lsocket/ s/-lsocket -lnsl -lgen -ldl -lelf -laio -lposix4 // w q EOF echo "- build extension" cp Setup-8.0.5 Setup cp Makefile.pre.in-1.5 Makefile.pre.in make -f Makefile.pre.in boot PYTHON=python make make install python DCOracle_test.py user/passwd@instance.world make clobber exit 0 ----------------------------------------------------------- Keith Rohrer wrote:
But I want to access my Oracle database with Zope SQL methods, so I downloaded the Oracle database adapter (Z Oracle DA). The "installation instructions" only tell me how to build DCOracle; no sign of how to install ZOracleDA into Zope can be found, and Zope has yet to read my mind and detect ZOracleDA's presence.
The .tgz contans a README.txt file in the src directory which details the all-too-painful process of compiling the Oracle modules.
Which, for me, started with getting my own Python.h so I could compile. This entailed getting my own Python, so I concluded I was supposed to untar ZOracleDA into my Python directory, not Zope's private Python directory...
Even in its current state you should be able to visit the Control Panel/Products folder and see a broken ZOracleDA product. Not if you think it goes in your Python directory, as opposed to Zope's Python directory. I'll move it and see what shakes loose. You might want to amend the installations to say to start by untarring in the Zope directory, not the Python directory...
Check the README.txt for step-by-step compilation instructions. DCOracle works, though I had to get my own
BTW, what platform are you running (Win/Sparc Solaris)? Solaris.
