Or at least > have you got some hints on how to use it with the Instant Client? Yes. Please read README in ruby-oci8-0.1.10.1.tar.gz. It has been compiled successfully in my environment.

Please mail me the last 100 lines of 'ext/oci8/mkmf.log' when you failed. -- KUBO Takehiro email: kubo@jiubao.org web: http://www.jiubao.org GnuPG fingerprint = 5F7B C8EF CA16 57D0 FDE1 9F47 C001 1F93 AC08 2262
