[cx-oracle-users] pip install error on RHEL 7 with Oracle 11g

[Simon C. <sim...@gm...>]

Hi,

The README.txt says:
"Please note that an Oracle client (or server) installation is required in
order to use cx_Oracle."

However, when I pip install on a RHEL 7 server that already has Oracle 11g
installed, I got this error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 17, in <module>
      File "/tmp/pip-build-JK3O5z/cx-Oracle/setup.py", line 135, in <module>
        raise DistutilsSetupError("cannot locate an Oracle software " \
    distutils.errors.DistutilsSetupError: cannot locate an Oracle software
installation

Can someone please advise what I'm missing?

Thanks!

Simon
