But I also think that I compiled SOCI successfully without setting it but by setting ORACLE_INCLUDE and ORACLE_LIBRARY manually. The latter was not obvious however as it must contain several libraries (libclntsh.so, libnnz11.so and libocci.so I believe). Again, I am far from being sure that this was the right thing to do but it seemed to have worked... It was some time ago though (when I was first evaluating SOCI) so I'm not sure if it still works with the current sources. Regards, VZ
