Hello everybody. I'm a newbie in R in a debian and linux in general I'm trying install roracle in my debian 64 bit system. I've read the http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ROracle/INSTALL and I've installed Oracel Instant Client by rpm package (using alien to deb convert). When I try to install I write export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH in terminal and then I download ROracle_1.1-1.tar.gz from cran and I type sudo R CMD INSTALL ROracle_1.1-1.tar.gz where I've downloaded the tar.gz file. I always get the same error jose at jose-laptop:~/Descargas$ sudo R CMD INSTALL ROracle_1.1-1.tar.gz * installing to library ?/usr/local/lib/R/site-library? * installing *source* package ?ROracle? ... ** package ?ROracle? successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked configure: error: OCI libraries not found ERROR: configuration failed for package ?ROracle? * removing ?/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/ROracle? and I don't understand why. any idea? Thanks. PD: Really I need install ROracle for my job. please help me ;)

Jose I have not installed on your platform, but when you gunzip and untar the .gz there are some pointers in the INSTALL file that may be helpful, including: When installing Instant Client from a ZIP package you will still need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH but additionally you will need to specify the location of Oracle Client libraries and header files via either an environment variable OCI_LIB or a configure option --with-oci-lib. For example, if using an environemnt variable export OCI_LIB=/scratch/instantclient_11_2 and a few other suggestions that may help. Paul

Don't worry. Denis Mukhin (author of package) gives me a solution. Consists in instead of R CMD INSTALL "name of package" use R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--with-oci-lib=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib --with-oci-inc=/usr/include/oracle/11.2/client64' ROracle_1.1-1.tar.gz and maybe copy (at least for me) copy or link lib files on /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib to /usr/lib and then use R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--with-oci-lib=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib --with-oci-inc=/usr/include/oracle/11.2/client64' ROracle_1.1-1.tar.gz Anyway, thanks you. I've learned so much about my linux system today. El 06/03/12 23:51, Paul Gilbert escribi?:
