I'm using the oci8 library for mswin32. I installed it with the special installer and version here on rubyforge. I'm actually using the library through Rails. When rails is loading the oci8 library, my ruby installation complains about a missing OCI.DLL. This dll wasn't generated by the oci8 installer, and from what I can tell isn't actually needed, as I've used the library and adapter without problems before. The dialog indicating the problem only showed when using Apache 1.3.x (Apache 2.0 failed, but didn't give me any indication why, I'm assuming the same reason) with FastCGI. When I ran with normal cgi, the problem never "appeared" - so it may have existed but I got no dialog about it.

Date: 2006-01-20 09:32 Sender: Laurence Cuche Same thing for me... My applic also connect to a remote Oracle DB. The whole applic works fine (but slow) with WEBbrick and normal CGI. But as soon as i want to user FastCGI, then i get this "OCI.DLL not found" from a Ruby.exe pop-up. I think my PATH are set right, because i can get sqlplus.exe to connect to my OracleDB over DOS... I also tried to copy the oci.dll to my ruby/bin directory: the oci popup error don't appear any more i get an Error "Rails application failed to start properly" and rails crashes...

Date: 2005-08-21 14:36 Sender: Kubo Takehiro Does sqlplus.exe run on DOS prompt? If it works, PATH is set to %ORACLE_HOME%\bin correctly. The last way is copy OCI.DLL to the ruby.exe directory.
Date: 2005-08-19 22:55 Sender: Nobody Kubo, I had the same problem. A ruby.exe popup comes up with that message indincating that it cannot find the oci.dll. I saw your posting and I added to my system variable path %ORACLE_HOME%\bin but that didn't work. Then I tried c:\oracle\ora92\bin and it still didn't work. Altought is not important I would like to know how to fix it.
Date: 2005-04-17 14:45 Sender: Kubo Takehiro Logged In: YES user_id=854 OCI.DLL is installed by Oracle Universal Installer or Oracle Instant Client. Set the environment variable PATH to %ORACLE_HOME%\bin or to the directory where Oracle Instant Client was installed.
