[R-sig-Debian] ROracle package

[jose luis cañadas]

Don't worry. Denis Mukhin (author of package) gives me a solution.
Consists in instead of R CMD INSTALL "name of package" use

R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--with-oci-lib=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib --with-oci-inc=/usr/include/oracle/11.2/client64' ROracle_1.1-1.tar.gz

and maybe copy (at least for me) copy or link  lib files on
/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib  to /usr/lib and then use

R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--with-oci-lib=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib --with-oci-inc=/usr/include/oracle/11.2/client64' ROracle_1.1-1.tar.gz


Anyway, thanks you. I've learned so much about my linux system today.
