Re: [cx-oracle-users] This must be something simple....

Mark,

Thanks for the hint - this may have proved useful.

When I do what you suggest and use strace to follow what's going on, I
noticed two things:
1) the installation of the cx_Oracle rpm seems to have dropped (only?) two
files in /usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages:   cx_Oracle.cpython-32mu.so and
cx_Oracle-5.1.2-py3.2.egg-info
Note that these are in the site-packages folder itself - not a subfolder
2) the output of strace shows that it looks for a slightly different name:
cx_Oracle.cpython-32m.so  (not the absence of the "u")

So....a few followup questions:
1) should there be more files there?  Or is it really just the .so?  The
strace seems to show that it also looks for:
- cx_Oracle
- cx_Oraclemodule.cpython-32m.so
- cx_Oracle.abi3.so
- cx_Oraclemodule.abi3.so
- cx_Oracle.so
- cx_Oraclemodule.so
- cx_Oracle.py
- cx_Oracle.pyc

2) Should I be able to create a symlink to resolve at least the one with a
slightly different name?

I'm at a bit of a loss simply because I don't have a working cx_Oracle on a
linux box anywhere to compare to.

Thanks again - your time is greatly appreciated.

Dwayne
