CentOS 5.6 Ruby 1.9.2 OCI8 2.0.6 Ruby installed with RVM (set Oracle environment variables) $ gem install oci8 Building native extensions. This could take a while... Successfully installed ruby-oci8-2.0.6 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for ruby-oci8-2.0.6... Installing RDoc documentation for ruby-oci8-2.0.6... Yet when I try to use it in any context I get... $ ruby -r oci8 puts 'Hello world!' :29:in `require': no such file to load -- oci8 (LoadError) from :29:in `require' $ I'm fairly sure I'm missing something trivial but being an admin (not a ruby developer) I've no idea what. Does ruby need an LD_LIBRARY_PATH element to point to the gems? My apologies if this isn't exactly the right place for the question. $ ruby -v ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09 revision 32553) [x86_64-linux] $ gem -v 1.8.10 $ gem list *** LOCAL GEMS *** rake (0.9.2 ruby) ruby-oci8 (2.0.6) ruby-ole (1.2.11.2) ruby-prof (0.10.8) rubygems-update (1.8.10) sources (0.0.1) spreadsheet (0.6.5.9) man-ciserv-001:~ $ JC -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
