Hello all,

I'm a newbie using Windows.

I'm trying to connect to Oracle to get started.

I made it thru a Proxy problem where none of my gems were loading.

Now I'm trying to to connect via Oracle.

I get the following message:

irb(main):001:0> require oci8
NameError: undefined local variable or method `oci8' for main:Object
from (irb):1
from :0

I have put environment variables of ORACLE_HOME, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH32 pointing to C:\oracle\instantclient_11_1.

I've installed:

activerecord-oracle-adapter (1.0.0.9250)
activerecord-oracle_enhanced-adapter (1.2.4)

I did an install of oci8 from gem as in:

gem install ruby-oci8 -v 1.0.4

Previously tried to install from tar.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Will R.

require 'oci8' (you missed the quotes)

otherwise it thinks you're trying to use a local variable or method
called oci8, and it can't find one. Compare:

foo = 'oci8'
require foo

Yes, I tried it both ways:

irb(main):002:0> require 'oci8'

What version of ruby-oci8 do you use?
What type of ruby-oci8 package do you use?
Could you list *all* files whose name starts with oci8 under C:\Ruby?

You wrote 'gem install ruby-oci8 -v 1.0.4' but
C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oci8.rb is
a part of ruby-oci8 2.0 because it requires oci8lib_18.
I guess that you mix some ruby-oci8 versions and package types.

In above list, C:\Ruby\extract is where I unloaded my zip files. I did
the

ruby setup.rb config
ruby setup.rb setup
ruby setup.rb install

After the setup metioned above didn't work, I found a website that says
, just
do the gem install ruby-oci8 -v 1.0.4 (see
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/haefel-oracle-ruby.html)
