I am trying to compile cx_Oracle for my Intel Mac 10.4.9 / Python 2.4.4 installation, but when I import the compile .so file I get ImportError: Failure linking new module (Detail below).
I have the Oracle instant client installed, including the SDK package for the header files. In order to pacify the compiler warnings, I created symbolic links for the two dylibs that ended in 10.1 /Applications/instantclient/libclntsh.dylib@ -> libclntsh.dylib.10.1 /Applications/instantclient/libocci.dylib@ -> libocci.dylib.10.1 The following builds the cx_Oracle.so and installs it into site-packages, but the import fails as follows: $ sudo python setup.py install running install running build running build_ext running install_lib $ python Python 2.4.4 (#1, May 21 2007, 11:26:22) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import cx_Oracle Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: Failure linking new module: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cx_Oracle.so: Symbol not found: _OCINumberFromInt Referenced from: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cx_Oracle.so Expected in: dynamic lookup >>> I've stepped out of my aging compiler expertis.... er, memories. Dynamically linked libraries, statically linked libraries, it's all a blur now. Tis what I love about Python : ) Any tips are appreciated. I found only one page Googling about (which gave me symbolic link tip) http://pedro.emanuel.familiasalgado.org/?p=103 --stv _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
