Subject: mkmf and oracle problem - not detecting header files

Hi all,

Oracle 9.2.0.4
Mandriva Linux 2.6.8.1
Ruby 1.8.2

I suspect I need a good dose of caffeine, because I can't figure out why 
the ruby-oci package isn't picking up the Oracle header files.  To 
simplify things as much as possible, I created a test extconf.rb script 
that looks like this:

# extconf.rb
require "mkmf"
dir_config("oracle")
have_header("oci.h")

# To demonstrate that the oci.h file does exist
 >ls /home/oracle/9204/rdbms/demo/oci.h
/home/oracle/9204/rdbms/demo/oci.h

I tried several different things - what am I doing wrong?

 >ruby extconf.rb
checking for oci.h... no

 >ruby extconf.rb --with-oracle-dir=/home/oracle/9204
checking for oci.h... no

 >ruby extconf.rb --with-oracle-dir=/home/oracle/9204/rdbms/demo
checking for oci.h... no

 >ruby extconf.rb --with-oracle-include=/home/oracle/9204/rdbms/demo
checking for oci.h... no

Regards,

Dan
