[Zope] ZOracleDA woes

[Jens Vagelpohl]

hi everyone,

after getting a little help in compiling the darned thing and testing the
shared libraries with the DCOracle python test script everything seemed to
be OK. Oracle database connections show up as an option to add in the
management screen and according to the control panel products page it's
available and working as well.

when adding a connection (using the legendary scott/tiger account which is
proven to work using the sqlplus tool) zope dies and restarts. if i append
the ORACLE_SID to the connection string after an @ nothing happens (the
browser keeps waiting for any reply).

as a last attempt i added ORACLE_SID to the global /etc/profile thinking the
connection would not know which instance to connect to, but using the
username/password connection string zope still restarts.

has anyone seen this behavior or maybe have an idea why it's happening?

i'm using zope 2.0.0 final.
