First of all sorry for posing a question that has been asked a thousand times before. I did a lot of research but didn't find this specific problem.
I have Linux Mint (Ubuntu) with Oracle instant client basic and SDK (11.2) installed from .deb (via Alien). $ORACLE_HOME is set (/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client) and contains bin, lib, and a symlink to include (/usr/include/oracle/11.2/client). I'm not a total linux n00b but I don't usually compile anything from source. I installed the Oracle software using the instructions here <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Oracle%20Instant%20Client> Running 'locate oci.h' shows /home/tom/Downloads/gdal/gdal-1.9.2/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/oci/drv_oci.html /home/tom/Downloads/gdal/gdal-1.9.2/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/oci/ogr_oci.h /usr/include/oracle/11.2/client/oci.h As you can see I'm trying to compile 1.9.2 Stable. No matter what I pass with the ./configure command, config.log always reports "configure:22485: checking for Oracle OCI headers in " - with nothing after "in" - as if it doesn't know where the header is supposed to be, and then "conftest.cpp:64:29: fatal error: oci.h: No such file or directory" These are the arguments I've tried ./configure --with-oci ./configure --with-oci-include='/usr/include/oracle/11.2/client' ./configure --with-oci=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/include ./configure --with-oci=$ORACLE_HOME I even tried copying the contents of /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/include to the gdal source directory, but I'm not sure what I thought this would accomplish. Can anyone suggest where I could go next? Any thoughts much appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/Problem-compiling-gdal-with-OCI-support-configure-doesn-t-seem-to-know-where-to-look-tp5016804.html Sent from the GDAL - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
