[Zope-DB] Compiling DCOracle2 for MacOSX (longish)

[Sion Morris]

Hi,

Using the steps outlined below i have failed to get DCOracle2 to work with
Oracle9i on MacOSX 10.3.3 (PowerBook G4 512Mb) and Python2.3.3 (Zope 2.7.0).
Am I spitting against the wind with this particular combination or is there
a better way?

1. Installed Oracle 9i by following David Simpson's "Installing Oracle 9i on
Mac OS X" tutorial on http://www.macdevcenter.com/. SQL/Plus can now connect
to another Oracle server (I don't need an actual database on the macosx
server).

2. Downloaded and installed Python2.3.3.

3. Downloaded and installed Zope 2.7.0. Tested and working.

4. Downlaoded DCOracle2-1.3b.tgz (http://www.zope.org). Uncompressed file in
the Products directory. CD'd into DCOracle2 and ran 'make' which returned
the following error:

     (cd src; \
     ./testora python)
     Checking ORACLE_HOME...passed.
     Checking for Oracle version...failed.
     /Users/oracle/v920/lib/libclntsh.so not readable; unable to
     determine your oracle version.
     make: *** [.config] Error 2

5. Further googling returned a patch to testora
(http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-checkins/2003-September/024085.html and
http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-checkins/2003-September/024086.html)
that allows the checking of Oracle version on OSX. After applying the patch,
'make' found the right Oracle version but returned this error:

(cd src; \
./testora python)
Checking ORACLE_HOME...passed.
Checking for Oracle version...Oracle 9i found.

Would anyone be kind enough to offer any suggestions?
