Forum OpenACS Q&A: Oracle 10g/Ubuntu Dapper/AOLserver 4

I have troubles linking in oracle dynamic libraries when trying to build and install the nsoracle 2.7 driver. Even after having installed oracle-xe and oracle-xe-client (10.2.0.1) using apt-get, I have troubles locating the libraries

-lcore10 -lcommon10 -lgeneric10 -lclient10

or other variants during linking. Have anyone experienced the same problem?

Martin, on Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper, I compiled the nsoracle CVS head, which built fine out of the box. It seems to work with OpenACS, but I have not yet used it heavily. I don't think I ever tried the changes above to get the older nsoracle 2.7 release to build against 10g.

I don't now what "oracle-xe" is exactly, is that some 3rd party Debian or Ubuntu package for Oracle Express Edition? Do you know for a fact that it is supposed to provide the same libraries that you get with the normal Oracle 10g server?

Hi,

I'm facing the same problem.
I found out that libs are missing from Oracle XE.

Did you find a workaround (other than installing regular Oracle 1O.2, compile and de-install?).

Would you share your binary driver for 10.2?
