[R] ROracle on RHEL 3 x86_64

[mark.threefoot@amd.com]

Hello,

I am trying to configure my system with ROracle.  I am running RHEL 3 AS x86_64.  I have the Oracle client 9.2.0.4 x86_64.  I have successfully compiled and run both R-1.8.1 and R-1.9.0 (tried ROracle on both installations).  I am using DBI 1.8 and ROracle 0.5-4.  I have used both the default Redhat installed gcc 3.2.3 and gcc 3.4.  I am able to compile ROracle successfully with the following command:

R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--enable-extralibs="-lsqlplus"' ROracle_0.5-4.tar.gz

When I run R, I get a Segmentation fault after the dbConnect call:

> library('ROracle')
> ora <- Oracle()
> con <- dbConnect(ora, "username/password at database")
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Has anyone run into this, or are running the same configuration?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
