cx_Oracle on 64bit architecture

  • 772

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 64bit and I am trying to install cx_Oracle for python3. I managed to install Oracle XE itself from a deb, but it is 386 version. When I try to install cx_Oracle through easy_install3 I get:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lclntsh

And before that:

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/

What I can do to have cx_Oracle installed?

python

  1. The cx-oracle easy installer is obviously broken. The best thing to do is to go to the developers/packagers and get them to create a debian package for installation on Debian and Ubuntu distributions. This will allow the package to be installed with the known properties of the system instead of guessing where things should be.

    If in doubt, report it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
