Subject: Oracle driver doesn't want to load

Hello,

I hope someone can give a hint what is going wrong here.

I have a Ruby program that connects to an Oracle database using the DBI
module. This is the code for the connecting:

dbh = DBI.connect("DBI:Oracle:db:host", "user", "pw")

I would use the OCI8 driver, but only DBD::Oracle is installed here, and
I won't get OCI8 before Monday ;-)

My program raises following exception while connecting that I don't
understand:

/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/dbi.rb:344:in `load_driver': Could not
load driver (no such file to load -- oracle) (DBI::InterfaceError)
        from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/dbi.rb:227:in
`_get_full_driver'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/dbi.rb:213:in `connect'
        from GeoDatabaseController.rb:35:in `connect_to_oracle'
        from GeoDatabaseController.rb:339:in `main'
        from GeoDatabaseController.rb:350

What is going wrong here? I have looked at dbi.rb for a while trying to
understand, but I still have no clue.

Thanks,
Maria
