[R] FW: ROracle error

[Vikram Khurana]

  Thanks David,

I was able to get past the proc problems. However now I'm stuck on 
another problem. Hope you can point me in the right direction here too.

My pcscfg.cfg file in $ORACLE_HOME/precomp/admin/pcscfg.cfg
looks as follows:

sys_include=($ORACLE_HOME/precomp/public,/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/include/,/usr/include)
include=($ORACLE_HOME/precomp/public)
include=($ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo)
include=($ORACLE_HOME/network/public)
include=($ORACLE_HOME/plsql/public)
ltype=short

The error message on executing R CMD INSTALL ROracle_0.3-3.tar.gz logged 
in as root is as follows:

R CMD COMPILE RS-DBI.c
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/R.INSTALL.6290/ROracle/src'

The symbol ";" was substituted for "__ctype_get_mb_cur_max" to continue.

& on & on

I know this is really a Pro C problem & not a R problem, but I'm hoping 
somebody in this list might still be able to help me...

Thanks,
Vikram
