These instructions were great! I've been in a very poor mood today due to seemingly endless configuration and integration problems, and this is the first success I've had all day. Thanks ever so much for figuring out and posting this! Michael My friend, you kick ass.

These instructions were great! I’ve been in a very poor mood today due to seemingly endless configuration and integration problems, and this is the first success I’ve had all day.

Thanks ever so much for figuring out and posting this!

I was able to resolve the issue, and actually the fix turned out to be so simple. I just created a new path on my drive: /scratch/plebld/208/rdbms/lib/. This is the exact same path referenced by the error message. Probably it would have been created during the full Oracle install or something, but it did not exist before. Then I placed a copy of the libclntsh.dylib.10.1 executable file there taken from \Library\Oracle\oracleclient folder that contained the latest unzipped version of Oracle client. And it worked. The new OCI8 combined with Ruby(i386) seems to be running much better and faster! Ruby running in PPC mode would often crash before and eating up lots of CPU. A+++++! Thanks a lot for all your work, Brent! Excellent and very helpful instructions! Thanks, Brent. I was able to resolve the issue, and actually the fix turned out to be so simple.

If OCI8 works from IRB, then all of the Ruby-level work is in place and so the problem must be with NetBeans. If you've got a PPC-only NetBeans codebase, or something similar, that could be causing the problem; beyond that, I'm completely in the dark. Unfortunately, I have zero experience with NetBeans.

However when calling the OCI8 from NetBeans within the project, it gives the error: Oracle/OCI libraries could not be loaded: dlopen(/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/universal-darwin9.0/oci8lib.bundle, 9): Library not loaded: /scratch/plebld/208/rdbms/lib/libclntsh.dylib.10.1 Referenced from: /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/universal-darwin9.0/oci8lib.bundle Reason: image not found - /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/universal-darwin9.0/oci8lib.bundle Any possible suggestions? Thanks. I did everything after cleaning up the previous PPC setup and it works in IRB mode. However when calling the OCI8 from NetBeans within the project, it gives the error:
