I made it thru a Proxy problem where none of my gems were loading. Now I'm trying to to connect via Oracle. I get the following message: irb(main):001:0> require oci8 NameError: undefined local variable or method `oci8' for main:Object from (irb):1 from :0 I have put environment variables of ORACLE_HOME, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH32 pointing to C:\oracle\instantclient_11_1. I've installed: activerecord-oracle-adapter (1.0.0.9250) activerecord-oracle_enhanced-adapter (1.2.4) I did an install of oci8 from gem as in: gem install ruby-oci8 -v 1.0.4 Previously tried to install from tar. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Will R. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
