Resources for installation problems

[vampire]

Hello -
I am looking for resources on the web to help troubleshoot problems with the installation of OCI8 for Ruby
1.6.8. on the Solaris 8 platform (SPARC). The error that I am receiving is:

hermes # make
cd src && ruby extconf.rb
checking for gcc... yes
Get the version of Oracle from SQL*Plus... 920
try -I/ORACLE/product/9.2.0/rdbms/demo
checking for oci.h... no
try -I/ORACLE/product/9.2.0/rdbms/demo -I/ORACLE/product/9.2.0/rdbms/public
checking for oci.h... yes
Running make for $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/demo_rdbms.mk (build) ...OK
checking for OCIInitialize()... no
retry with postfix 32.

from ./oraconf.rb:113:in `initialize'
from extconf.rb:4:in `new'
from extconf.rb:4
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `src/Makefile'

and this is with version ruby-oci8-0.1.4 (I have tried p1 as well)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
David
