After installing Oracle instant client, if you have them in /usr/local/lib/instantclient_10_2, this is the command line i use :
./configure –with-instant-client=/usr/local/lib/instantclient_10_2 –with-oracle-includes=/usr/local/lib/instantclient_10_2/sdk/include –with-oracle-libraries=/usr/local/lib/instantclient_10_2 –with-oci-version=10G
Let me know ny email if you want the deb for ubuntu linux.
If you are using a pam_ldap or pam_nis environement and it happend that sqlplus does not want to connect as user but it does as root, waiting for :
socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 3
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/.nscd_socket"}, 110) =
-1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
close(3) = 0
open("/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY) = 3
fcntl64(3, F_GETFD) = 0
fcntl64(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=286, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE
|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x45b78000
read(3, "127.0.0.1tlocalhost.localdomaint"..., 4096) = 286
read(3, "", 4096) = 0
close(3) = 0
munmap(0x45b78000, 4096) = 0
getpid() = 26002
getuid32() = 1121
futex(0x41239198, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL
You just to have make sure to have nscd up and running. dunno what sqlplus does 
Classic my first webpage is still on the web that was back in 98 and that was about Emacs 
http://membres.lycos.fr/crblinux/html/xemacs.html
It is in french thought.
Ah i just discovered that the Bagdhad Musem have fetched my wikipedia page and i am on it now :

I feel greatly honored (yeah whatever).
If you want to emulate Control-L in Eshell (the Emacs Shell) like in Xterm, you can use this :
(defun eshell-show-minimum-output () (interactive) (goto-char (eshell-beginning-of-output)) (set-window-start (selected-window) (save-excursion (goto-char (point-max)) (line-beginning-position))) (eshell-end-of-output)) |
And add a key bind to it in your custom hook :
(local-set-key "\C-l" 'eshell-show-minimum-output)</p><p> |
If you like me when running oracle on x86_64 get that damn :
Error loading native library: libnjni9.so
when launching dbca and you have googled the thousands five hundred useless answer. Just add the path of the libs $ORACLE_HOME/lib and $ORACLE_HOME/lib32 to your /etc/ld.so.conf (or /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle.conf on RH derivative) and rerun ldconfig.
If this is during install just jump to a console after you add this line before it launching dbca and run a ldconfig -v as root.
Damn oracle….
Something that i haven’t find via goole. By default on RedHat (and derivatives) if you get a dark background the colored ls will be seen really humm bold from a xterm (since i guess there default gnome-terminal has been configured to have a white background ).
The solution is to
cp /etc/DIR_COLORS /etc/DIR_COLORS.xterm |
or to redefine your dircolors to get the /etc/DIR_COLORS files instead of /etc/DIR_COLORS.xterm in your shell init configuration.
It has been since 2 weeks I came back from my sister wedding. It has been a really good holiday as well under the sun. Spending a day in Dubai and 2 days in Bangkok was cool as well.
The come back is much harder thought. I did not feel the Jet but I think the change of the temperature made me weaker in my body. Hopefully sun is coming in Australia soon (still sunny theses day thought) and the beautiful days will be back.
On another good news, Noah and Marie are coming 15 of September and going to spend 1 month and half here.
Here you can watch the pictures of the wedding :

and some picture of that travel :
I have finally arrived to Jerusalem after 30 hours of travel going via Jordan.
It has been a long and tirering Journey here is some highlight of it :
