Re: [cx-oracle-users] cx_Oracle on 64 bit RH EL3.0

[Anthony T. <an...@co...>]

You might want to try using strace to track down which file it can't 
load. I suspect it is one of the other files located in an Oracle client 
installation but that should track down which one.

I suspect, though, that if you want to use a 64-bit Oracle installation, 
you will have to compile cx_Oracle yourself since the provided binary 
was built for 32-bit installations. If you get past the "no such file or 
directory" error, you'll probably be greeted with segfaults because of 
the changes in sizes of a number of structures -- you might be lucky but 
I wouldn't count on it.... :-)
