[Gdal-dev] OCI support for Oracle 9i

[Otto Dassau]

Hi, 

I am trying to build gdal 1.4.1 with OCI support but with no success. The
database is an oracle 9i. In the configure script I provide:

--with-oci=/usr/lib/oracle/9.2.0/OraHome \
--with-oci-lib=/usr/lib/oracle/9.2.0/OraHome/lib

There are two problems:

a) checking for Oracle OCI headers in /usr/lib/oracle/9.2.0/OraHome/rdbms/public

During configuration the header files are assumed to be in rdbms/public:
... checking for Oracle OCI headers in
/usr/lib/oracle/9.2.0/OraHome/rdbms/public

but in my oracle installation the header files are located in /rdbms/demo/, so I
have to copy them. Can I somehow add:

--with-oci-include='/usr/lib/oracle/9.2.0/OraHome/rdbms/public /usr/lib/oracle/9
.2.0/OraHome/rdbms/demo' ?

b) checking for Oracle OCI libraries in /usr/lib/oracle/9.2.0/OraHome/lib

here I get following error message that -lnnz10 is missing:

#configure:26066: checking for Oracle OCI libraries in
#/usr/lib/oracle/9.2.0/OraHome/lib configure:26097: g++ -o conftest -g -O2 
#-I/usr/lib/oracle/9.2.0/OraHome/rdbms/public 
#-L/usr/lib/oracle/9.2.0/OraHome/lib -lclntsh -lnnz10 conftest.cc -L/usr/lib
#-lxerces-c -lpthread -ljasper -lmfhdf -ldf -lgif -ljpeg -ltiff -lpng -lnetcdf
#-lcfitsio -lpq -L/usr/lib -lpq -lz -lpthread -lm -lrt -ldl  >&5 /usr/bin/ld:
#cannot find -lnnz10 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
#configure:26103: $? = 1
#configure: failed program was:
#| 
#|                 /* confdefs.h.  */

I haven't found anything about it in other mailings, so I hope someone can give
me a hint, how I can manage to get oracle support for current gdal 1.4.1. I
worked with version 1.3.2 before and there I have oci support with the same
configuration.

 Otto
