Therefore, I cannot download ROracle. I am really very new to this, so any information is appreciated, and any information about what additional information will give will also be useful.
> library(ROracle) Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared object '~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.14/ROracle/libs/ROracle.so': libclntsh.so.11.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: package/namespace load failed for 'ROracle'
ROracle.so is exactly where it says. libclntsh.so.11.1 can be found at /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1 . This is the result of .libPaths :
> .libPaths() [1] "/home/nguiller/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.14" "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library" "/usr/lib/R/site-library" [4] "/usr/lib/R/library" "/usr/lib/rstudio/R/library"
My .Renviron file
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib:/home/nguiller/Downloads/instantclient_11_2" ORACLE_HOME="/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/:/home/nguiller/Downloads/instantclient_11_2" OCI_LIB="/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib"
I had a lot of problems installing ROracle for starters due to OCI libraries, but in the end it worked with R CMD INSTALL --configure-ags='--with-oci-lib=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib --with-oci-inc=/usr/include/oracle/11.2/client64' ROracle_1.1-8.tar.gz
Let me know how I can help.
