[Qgis-user] Can't Add Oracle Spatial Vector Layer with QGIS 2.0 on Mac OSx

[William Kyngesburye]

I figured someone else would have a good answer.  I wasn't aware of the new Oracle driver, and when you mentioned it I thought it was self-contained or used GDAL.

But now that I look at it closer, I did not build QGIS with Oracle support (it's direct support, not thru GDAL).  I gave up on the OCI libraries for OSX a long time ago, but maybe they've caught up recently.  I'll look into it.  There's nothing you can do to get the existing build to work.

I assume this has to do with gdal configuration, but I'm not sure how to fix that. I have the oracle instant client installed, and I can connect to oracle with sqlplus. Has anyone been able to get the new support for oracle to work on a Mac (Lion)?

Theory of the Universe

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable.  There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
