[R-sig-DB] [R] ROracle

[Joseph Magagnoli]

Hi All,
Does anyone know if the ROracle package is still being maintained? The last
update to the package was Oct, 2007.  I am currently getting a configuration
error when attempting to install the package.  I emailed David James, the
maintainer, earlier in the week and have not received a response.  In case
anyone is interested here is what I did so far.  I had oracle 11g client
installed and sqlnet config files setup by IT on the linux server at work.  I
tried installing ROracle but so far I only get configure errors. I shared
the install guide with the IT folks who had me try

>> export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/home/oracle/product

>> export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/home/oracle/product/11.2.0

>> export PATH=$PATH:/u01/home/oracle/product/11.2.0/bin

>> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib

Then after this I opened R and did install.packages('ROracle') and get the
error
