I got the following error message when I try to install oracle npm module on my ubuntu box:

npm install oracle
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/oracle

My env variables seem to be correctly set:

export ORACLE_HOME=/home/luc/instantclient_11_2/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME

and the symlink as well:

libclntsh.so -> libclntsh.so.11.1
libocci.so -> libocci.so.11.1

Is there something missing in my config ?

Answer 1

heh :o) ok, so just reading the error message above, it looks like the OCI include files are missing… (i have no idea what those are, even!)
