TOra / Discussion / Help: Compile Tora-1.3.14-1 from scratch

Anonymous - 2004-08-04

Hi,

I'm a oracle user, some day maybe an administrator... And a huge fan of linux...
As a newbie I would like some help to install from source tora-1.3.14-1 for Oracle8i and qt-x11-free-3.3.2...
After setting up ORACLE_HOME, PATH... Installed from source qt-x11-free-3.3.2... I tried to install tora... It seemed to complete the process successfully, but then when I tried to run it, there is no connection plugin... What am I doing wrong? Thanks...

  Sorry I forgot to mention that I'm currently using Mandrake 9.2 at work and 10.0 at home...

  Do you have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to include $ORACLE_HOME/lib, or have you added $ORACLE_HOME/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf?
  
  For the second option, you'll need to specify the full path to ORACLE_HOME/lib instead of using the environment variable.

  Probably a stupid question, but are you running TOra from the oracle account (with the same environment as used to build it)?
  
  Also, if you run TOra from a shell prompt, do you get errors reported?
  
  Also also, do you by any chance have a .torarc in your home directory that specifies an invalid PluginDir (maybe from an old installation)?

    I got bitten by this as well, switching between the source and precompiled versions. Is there any chance TOra could check for changes between the two or alternately include a note in the INSTALL file?

  Carey,
  
  Exactly the same user used to install oracle, same environment, paths, etc...
  I just figured out my problem... Pretty much stupid problem!!!! Newbie problem... First time to make all dumb things... Second time you learn eventually...
  Let me explain what happened. As I did install with --prefix to select my own location to tora... All plugins were install into /usr/local/tora-1.3.14/lib/tora instead of /usr/local/tora-1.3.14/lib... All that I had to do was to copy/move *.tso from /usr/local/tora-1.3.14/lib/tora to /usr/local/tora-1.3.14/lib and execute ldconfig -v again... it works perfectly... But to reach that conclusion I installed it 3 or 4 times...
  Do you have any idea why all plugins were installed in /usr/local/tora-1.3.14/lib/tora? Is it how tora was meant to be installed?
  
  Thank you so much for your help

    I blv that's how Henrik (the author) meant for it to be installed, though I prefer the structure you've used personally.
    
    However, I believe TOra should have read the plugins from /usr/local/tora-1.3.14/lib/tora unless you had an existing .torarc in your home directory specifying the other directory.
