[cx-oracle-users] OCI.DLL cannot be found ?

[Philip S. <phi...@cg...>]

Hello !

I got the "standard" errormessage under WinXP :

 >>> import cx=5FOracle
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in ?
     import cx=5FOracle
ImportError: DLL load failed: La proc=E9dure sp=E9cifi=E9e est introuvable.=
=20
(the specified procedure cannot be found).

As I get the same message even if I wipe out all oci.dll from c:\, I=20
guess the errormessage does'nt mean "the is a problem with one entry=20
point in the dll" but rather "I cannot find the (oci.)dll".

I use latest cx=5Foracle 4.1 beta1 for 9.0i (installed with the installer=20
for python 2.3)
Oracle 9.0i client is installed. oci.dll is in c:\oracle\ora9i\bin.=20
SQLPlus is working fine.

Here's my path :

PATH=3Dc:\oracle\ora9i\bin;C:\Program=20
Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.8\bin;c:\oracle\ora81\bin;C:\Program=20
Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\bin;C:\WINNT\System32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbe=
m;c:\Prgfile\Orawin\bin;C:\PROGRA~1\CA\SHARED~1\SCANEN~1;C:\PROGRA~1\CA\ETR=
UST~1;C:\Program=20
Files\Visio2002\Visio10;c:\gs\gs8.14\bin\;C:\PROGRA~1\ULTRAEDT;Z:.;

And I even set :

ORACLE=5FHOME=3Dc:\oracle\ora9i\

How does cx=5Foracle.pyd look for oci.dll ? How to solve this problem ?

Thanks a lot for any hint !

Philip.
