Great Solaris patch! Finally built. Here's some tips on connecting: Just made this on solaris8 32bit, actually works. 1) put everything in one directory 2) unsetenv ORACLE_HOME 3) set the env vars LD_LIBRARY_PATH and SQLPATH and TNS_ADMIN(if you have it) to that directory. 4) use one of the other easy connection notations here http://www.oracle.com/technology/ docs/tech/sql_plus/10102/readme_ic.htm These env vars worked when put at the top of apachectl script as well. To build you may have to fake it out with an ORACLE_HOME var, but unset it later. You may also have to fake out the build by putting header files where it is looking for them, e.g. in the rdbms/demo directory or some such other place. When running though, make sure you have only the files required in only one directory. Oracle has not put up a link to the 32bit solaris sqlplus--you have to guess it--it's there though: http://download.oracle.com/otn/solaris/instantclient/ instantclient-sqlplus-solaris32-10.1.0.3.zip ...and don't forget to add ".world" on to the end of your SID. It's very common to have to specify DBNAME.WORLD to connect. --was-- Great Solaris patch! Finally built.
