Set the environment variable ORACLE_HOME if Oracle Full Client.
Append the path of Oracle client libraries to LD_LIBRARY_PATH if Oracle Instant Client.

See http://ruby-oci8.rubyforge.org/en/file.install-full-client.html if Oracle full client.
See http://ruby-oci8.rubyforge.org/en/file.install-instant-client.html if Oracle instant client.

If you set ORACLE_HOME or LD_LIBRARY_PATH, you would forget to export it.

Note that sudo command drops LD_LIBRARY_PATH for security reasons.
If you need to use sudo (I don't think so), run the following:

sudo env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH gem install ruby-oci8

Hi,
thanks for your tips.
i followed your tips but now i got following issue:
vcap@ubuntu:/etc$ sudo gem install ruby-oci8
ERROR: While executing gem ... (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError)
SSL_connect returned=6 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read finished A

[kubo]

The error ERROR: While executing gem ... (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError) would be raised when trying to connect to a gem server prior to installing ruby-oci8. I don't know what the error is.

vcap@ubuntu:/etc$ sudo gem install ruby-oci8

Your ruby is under /home/vcap/cloudfoundry/.deployments/devbox/deploy/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/.
Use sudo command only when your ruby is under a directory where you don't have write permission and root privilege is required to put files to the directory.

Set ORACLE_HOME or LD_LIBRARY_PATH and run the command which caused the error in your first post.

Did you install ruby-oci8 successfully?
Can I close this issue?

[lilichen1]

i have set orcale_path ,but i got those

Error Message:
Set the environment variable DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH or
OCI_DIR to point to the Instant client directory.

If DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH or DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH is set, the environment
variable must be set at runtime also.

can you tell me what can i do?

[kubo]

Your issue is not related to this issue.
Could you create a new issue with the following information?

• ruby-oci8 version
• OS version (run sw_vers in a terminal) (I guess that you uses OS X)
• output of env command
• output of commands in http://www.rubydoc.info/github/kubo/ruby-oci8/file/docs/report-installation-issue.md
