Re: [gnome-db]Problem compiling with oracle

[Bob Jones <bobjones68 yahoo com>]

Gonzalo,

I have been working on cleaning up the Oracle provider for libgda on and 
off (mostly off) for the last 2 months or so.  What I have noticed is 
that libgda's Oracle provider is setup to handle Oracle 8.0.x, not 8i as 
you and I both have.  To correct this, you need to manually edit the 
config.status file in ~/libgda-<version #>.  Approximately 1/2-2/3 way 
through the file you will see the ORACLE_LIBS line.  I would recommend 
using Konquerer, MidnightCommander (GNOME), or Nautilus to give you a 
tree view of the files in your $ORA_HOME/lib directory.  With both the 
editor and directory view open, edit the config.status file to to place 
an 8 at the end of the lib files that correspond (eg. from -lserver to 
-lserver8, -lcommon to -lcommon8, etc).  Remove any lib entries in 
config.status that have no corresponding matches in the $ORA_HOME/lib 
directory, save it and re-run make.  This should compile and run just fine.

Bob
