ROracle
Hi All, Does anyone know if the ROracle package is still being maintained? The last update to the package was Oct, 2007. I am currently getting a configuration error when attempting to install the package. I emailed David James, the maintainer, earlier in the week and have not received a response. In case anyone is interested here is what I did so far. I had oracle 11g client installed and sqlnet config files setup by IT on the linux server at work. I tried installing ROracle but so far I only get configure errors. I shared the install guide with the IT folks who had me try
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/home/oracle/product
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/home/oracle/product/11.2.0
export PATH=$PATH:/u01/home/oracle/product/11.2.0/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib
Then after this I opened R and did install.packages('ROracle') and get the
error
