Oracle is finally up and running on RH 7.3 now. I will try to summarize the pitfalls to avoid here for future reference. 1> Make sure you have the Pro C/C++ drivers in Oracle client installed. This can be verified by looking for the existence of the proc directory in $ORACLE_HOME. Existence of proc means it worked 2> Put the following in the .bashrc script in root export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/OraHome1 export PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/oracle:$ORACLE_HOME/bin: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66 The last ' /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66' to be replaced by your gcc directory. The way you find your gcc directory is by doing locate stddef.h It will return a bunch of paths. Look for the one which is similar to the one above. Note that Oracle is only certified for gcc 2.95 or before. RH 7.3 comes installed with 2.96. You will have to copy gcc 2.95 from another machine which has it 3> make sure the pcscfg.cfg file under $ORACLE_HOME/precomp/admin looks like sys_include=($ORACLE_HOME/precomp/public,/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-li nux/egcs-2.91.66/include,/usr/include) include=($ORACLE_HOME/precomp/public) include=($ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo) include=($ORACLE_HOME/network/public) include=($ORACLE_HOME/plsql/public) ltype=short The 2nd path in the sys_include should be your gcc folder include file 4> export $LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib 5> Run . .bashrc to set environment variables. Now you can run the R CMD INSTALL ROracle_0.3-3.tar.gz command 6> If the error says that it cannot find stddef.h or stdarg.h, create a soft link for /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/include/stddef.h and /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/include/stdarg.h respectively in the directory that gcc is searching in (probably /usr/include) Thanks, Vikram -----Original Message----- From: David James [mailto:dj at research.bell-labs.com] Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 5:48 AM To: Vikram Khurana Subject: Re: [R] ROracle error Hi Vikram, I forgot to ask you.

David, I followed all the steps in the ROracle INSTALL document. I also found out that gcc2.96 is incompatible with Oracle Pro C. So I copied the gcc 2.95.3 files from another RH 7.3 computer and put them under /usr/local/ on my computer. I also put the /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3 path in PATH.

Hello Vikram, (I did respond to you yesterday's email from vkhurana at noaa.gov, but apparantly noaa.gov doesn't recognize your handle vkhurana.) Apparently you don't have the Oracle ProC/C++ precomplier "proc" in your $PATH. You need to include $ORACLE_HOME/bin in your $PATH, and probably $ORACLE_HOME/lib in your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. See the files INSTALL, README, and README.client in the source distribution (they'll be in the "inst" directory under "ROracle" after you untar the source file ROracle_0.3-3.tar.gz).

searched the R search engine and google with no luck. Can someone
