[Rd] Error in building ROracle in Windows with R 2.6.2 and Oracle 10g.

[Ajay DAS]

Hi,

I need to use ROracle to communicate with Oracle from R program in windows
environment. I am using Oracle 10g, R 2.6.2.  I found a pre-compiled binary
for ROracle for Oracle version 9.2. When I am trying to use it with Oracle
10g I get the following error:

con <- dbConnect(drv, "user/passwd at dbname");

Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable)  :
  unable to find an inherited method for function "dbConnect", for
signature "OraDriver"

I then decided to compile ROracle myself.  I downloaded ROracle src from
below:

      http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ROracle/index.html

When I was following the build instructions to run the makefile
Makefile.win I got the following error:

NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make
'c:\\PROGRA~1\\R\\R-2.6.2\\src\\gnuwin32\\Rdll.lib'

I did not see Rdll.lib anywhere. Do I need to have the src for R as well ?
Can anyone provide me a detailed instruction for building ROracle or is
there a place where I can get a pre compiled binary for Oracle 10g ?

I had sent an email to the maintainer of the package but have not got any
response.

Thanks,
Ajay.
