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

I don't think your short test extconf.rb would work here, as the
have_header directive after the dir_config specifically looks in an
'include' subdirector for header files, and as it stands Oracle's
installation of oci.h is in an odd place of rdbms/demo/oci.h.

I believe that ruby-oci (8, at least) plays around with setting some
environment variables and search paths based on the ORACLE_HOME
variable before it does it's own have_header('oci.h') test.

Which ruby-oci package are you trying this out on?  8?  9?  Is it
failing to install or run afterwards?
