When you do “sudo ruby setup.rb” then sudo is not inheriting environment variables from your current environment (you can check this if you do “sudo env”).

Therefore 1) either do “ruby setup.rb config” and “make” with your user (without sudo) and then afterwards just do “sudo make install” or 2) do at first “sudo su – root” and then set all necessary environment variables as root and then run “ruby setub.rb config”.

I’ve try setting the DYDL_LIBRARY_PATH too:
export DYDL_LIBRARY_PATH=”/usr/local/oracle/instantclient_10_2″

same error message…

Hi.
I’m getting this annoying error when i do the sudo ruby setup.rb config command:

“error messages:
Set the environment variable ORACLE_HOME if Oracle Full Client.
Append the path of Oracle client libraries to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH if Oracle Instant Client.”

Well, i’ve got the Instant Client and i guess that all enviroments variables are OK (i did just like you write).
Dont know what else to do. Any tips?

Thanks!

I’d just like to say, thanks! I had all of this working already, but the UTF8 problem was really throwing me for a loop. Your suggestion to set NLS_LANG totally fixed it, and made my afternoon.

Just confirming that the Oracle Instant Client does in fact require Leopard. When I try to get it working on Tiger (version 10.4.11) I get an error that says “Bus error”.

Found a solution…

Problem was that I had two instant client installed, one for when I was running the project in Xcode and one inside the application bundle used when launched from the Finder as a standalone app.

I had forgot to replace the instant client in the application bundle, it now works flawlessly!

When I was testing Oracle Instant Client beta then there was information that it will run just on Leopard – initially I tried to use it on Tiger but was unable to do it (got similar error messages).

So I assume that final release of new Instant Client also requires Leopard (I will ask Oracle to add such notice to download pages if this really is so).
