ruby-oci8 1.0.2 is released. This is a Oracle module using OCI8 API.

http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-oci8/

gem and mswin32 binary gem are also available from this release.

What's new in ruby-oci8 1.0.2.

1. add a gemspec file.
   (Thanks to Jesse Hu)

   To make a pure ruby gems package:
     gem build ruby-oci8.gemspec

   To make a binary gems package:
     gem build ruby-oci8.gemspec -- current

2. [BUG FIX] fix a segv bug in gc mark.
   (Thanks to authorNari)

It's Great. Thanks KUBO.

Hi Kubo,

I failed to install ruby-oci8 gem on Linux.

Error msg:

That is looking very nice, thanks. Does that mean that I can install it on
MacOS X/Intel which has no Oracle native client/libraries?

Thanks,

No. It needs Oracle client libraries and a C compiler.
I may confuse you. What should I refer to no-binary gem as?

I guess you didn't export LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
To check it, could you try the gem in the following URL?
    http://www.jiubao.org/tmp/ruby-oci8-1.0.2.gem

It prints more information on checking LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

You need to clarify what are the differences between a "pure ruby gem" and a
binary one then.

Does anyone know BTW how to get some kind of Oracle client for MacOS X?

Thanks.

Hi Kubo,

Thanks. Actually I export LD_LIBRARY_PATH for non-root user but not for
root. Now it works following these steps:

   - su - root
   - rpm -ivh oracle-instantclient-basic-11.1.0.1-1.rpm
   oracle-instantclient-devel-11.1.0.1-1.rpm (download
link<http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html&gt;;
or
   install oracle full client)
   - export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/
   11.1.0.1/client/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
   - cd /usr/lib/oracle/11.1.0.1/client/lib
   - ln -s libclntsh.so.11.1 libclntsh.so
   - gem install ruby-oci8

we can deny everything, except that we have the possibility of being better. simply reflect on that.

Thanks but connecting and using Oracle DB is not a problem, having a working
ruby-oci8 is :slight_smile:

Ara gave me the solution, thanks!
