[cx-oracle-users] cx_Oracle, Solaris and Oracle 9 client0

[Mikel L. <mla...@co...>]

Hi:

I'm trying to build cx_Oracle in a Solaris system with Oracle client 9
installed (both 32 and 64 bit versions according to the sysadmin).

As I have no access at all to the machine (that's the way administration
works sometimes here) I can't exactly know what happens there, they just
sent me this installation traceback (cx_Oracle version 4.1.1)::

bash-2.05$  /home1/zope/python/235/bin/python setup.py build
running build
running build_ext
building 'cx_Oracle' extension

build/temp.solaris-2.9-sun4u-2.3/cx_Oracle.o -DBUILD_TIME="December 19,

cx_Oracle.c:9: oci.h: No such file or directory
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
bash-2.05$

The sysadmin tells me there is no 'oci.h' throughout the system, so I
don't know what can happen, as far as I am not familiar with Oracle
installations I don't know where to find the 'oci.h', or what should I
do to install it (is there a complete or reduced Oracle client
installation? Perhaps I'm telling nonsense...)

Any hint will be appreciated.

Thank you,
