Re: [cx-oracle-users] Installing cx_Oracle on Fedora 12 - Oracle include files

[Weber, G. <Geo...@PA...>]

You should be able to get the Oracle "Instant Client".  The files you are missing are part of the SDK download on the page.  Go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html, select the proper OS, and download the SDK part of the client.  For Linux x86_64, the file is:
 oracle-instantclient11.2-sdk-11.2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.zip

Unzip that to your ORACLE_HOME directory.  Due to the way your directories are set up, you'll probably have to move the instant_client_11_2 directory's contents up a level to your $ORACLE_HOME dir.

Good luck!

Subject: [cx-oracle-users] Installing cx_Oracle on Fedora 12 - Oracle   include files

Hi,

I am having trouble installing cx_Oracle on my Fedora 12 machine. Via
pip or manually, I get the error

distutils.errors.DistutilsSetupError: cannot locate Oracle include files

I don't know if I actually _have_ the Oracle include files. I just
have sqlplus64 to connect to someone else's database.

I have these in my .bash_profile:

export ORACLE_VERSION=11.2
export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/$ORACLE_VERSION/client64
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export TNS_ADMIN=/etc
export TWO_TASK=fdb.ho

I was also given a couple of files, /etc/tnsnames.ora /etc/sqlnet.ora.

These are the files I have in the $ORACLE_HOME/lib - I tried changing
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to just be set to that, too -
glogin.sql  libclntsh.so.11.1  libnnz11.so  libocci.so.11.1
libociei.so  libocijdbc11.so  libsqlplusic.so  libsqlplus.so
ojdbc5.jar  ojdbc6.jar  xstreams.jar

What files is it looking for?
I don't know much about how Oracle works so I'm pretty lost. Would
just like to be able to read my database via python instead of the
horrid sqlplus command line!

thanks
Brianna
