[luau] Oracle Pro C on Linux

[Vikram Khurana]

Aloha,

I have installed Oracle Pro C/C++ 8.1.7 on RH 7.3. However I cannot
compile even sample programs that come with the download.

My pcscfg.cfg file in $ORACLE_HOME/precomp/admin/pcscfg.cfg
looks as follows:

sys_include=($ORACLE_HOME/precomp/public,/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-li
nux/2.96/include/,/usr/include)
include=($ORACLE_HOME/precomp/public)
include=($ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo)
include=($ORACLE_HOME/network/public)
include=($ORACLE_HOME/plsql/public)
ltype=short


I get error message

The symbol ";" was substituted for "__ctype_get_mb_cur_max" to continue.

& on & on


Oracle's website lists a bunch of ways to get around this problem-- all
related to changing the sys_include. I have tried various combinations
of the sys_include, all causing slightly different errors. Each time a
different set of file is not able to be included or found. Can somebody
give me some pointers on how to proceed with this....

Thanks,
Vikram
