Hi guys, We've been having quite some problems here with Zope and Oracle, and I'm beginning to suspect minor binary incompatibilities between different components of our system. My main concern is this: We use a binary Zope installation (2.2.5). DCOracle comes as a source-only distribution, because it needs to be compiled and linked against the right versions of Oracle and Python. The thing is, the Python that comes in a Zope binary installation cannot be used for this compilation; we compiled DCOracle against our system's independent Python 1.5.2 installation, put it in the ZOracleDA, and it works -- but makes Zope hang a lot in its select (I know because I killed it -INT, after it wouldn't respond to any connections including the monitor). My first question is: Is anybody else using ZOracleDA/DCOracle with a binary release? If so, how did you compile and link it? More generally, has anyone else (except for Dieter, who was kind enough to share such an experience with a Zope 2.1.6) seen Zope get stuck like this? More generally yet, am I on a goose-chase? Does anybody have experience passing binary libraries between Python installations, and can tell me it always works? Thanks, Shai.
