Subject: Re: mkmf and oracle problem - not detecting header files

Have you set your ORACLE_HOME environment variable to the directory
containing 'rdbms/demo/oci.h', in your case /home/oracle/9204?

run a 'printenv ORACLE_HOME' to see if it shows up as such.

if not, then depending on your shell:
export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/9204
