[gdal-dev] Problem compiling gdal with OCI support, configure doesn't seem to know where to look

[Ethan Alpert]

You sure your oracle client libs are installed correctly? It's strange
that oci.h would be in the top level directory.

--with-oci=/dg/local/apps/osgeo_pack/deployed/linux-x86_64/product/11gCl
ient/
--with-oci-include=/dg/local/apps/osgeo_pack/deployed/linux-x86_64/produ
ct/11gClient/rdbms/public/
--with-oci-lib=/dg/local/apps/osgeo_pack/deployed/linux-x86_64/product/1
1gClient/lib/

That's what I used for gdal 1.8.1.
/dg/local/apps/osgeo_pack/deployed/linux-x86_64 is my system deployed
path.

Subject: [gdal-dev] Problem compiling gdal with OCI support, configure
doesn't seem to know where to look

First of all sorry for posing a question that has been asked a thousand
times before. I did a lot of research but didn't find this specific
problem.

I have Linux Mint (Ubuntu) with Oracle instant client basic and SDK
(11.2) installed from .deb (via Alien). $ORACLE_HOME is set
(/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client) and contains bin, lib, and a symlink to
include (/usr/include/oracle/11.2/client). I'm not a total linux n00b
but I don't usually compile anything from source.

I installed the Oracle software using the instructions  here
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Oracle%20Instant%20Client>  

Running 'locate oci.h' shows 

/home/tom/Downloads/gdal/gdal-1.9.2/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/oci/drv_oci.html
/home/tom/Downloads/gdal/gdal-1.9.2/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/oci/ogr_oci.h
/usr/include/oracle/11.2/client/oci.h

As you can see I'm trying to compile 1.9.2 Stable.

No matter what I pass with the ./configure command, config.log always
reports
"configure:22485: checking for Oracle OCI headers in " - with nothing
after "in" - as if it doesn't know where the header is supposed to be,
and then
"conftest.cpp:64:29: fatal error: oci.h: No such file or directory"

These are the arguments I've tried

./configure --with-oci
./configure --with-oci-include='/usr/include/oracle/11.2/client'
./configure --with-oci=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/include
./configure --with-oci=$ORACLE_HOME

I even tried copying the contents of /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/include
to the gdal source directory, but I'm not sure what I thought this would
accomplish.

Can anyone suggest where I could go next? Any thoughts much appreciated.
