I have installed the Oracle 10G release 2 client onto a VMS Integrity
8.3-1H1 cluster, and I can happily connect to various dbs using SQL
Plus.

However my aim is to use the Pro*C pre-compiler, and I cannot get this
to play ball. The installation seems to have various empty directories
- specifically the config file and demo bits.

Does anybody have copies of these, or pointers on how to create
pcscfg.cfg ?

TIA

Chris,
The precompilers are probably installed with a server installation,
not a client installation. Check this out.

Nah. Pre-compilers are clearly Client side thingies.
How could they possible come with a server whoch might run on a
completely different platform?! That's not to say they would not come
with a server install, just that they must come with a client install.

Have you installed the patch kit right away?
If not, you'll be very unhappy later on when you find out that the
libclntsh.so is build with a date based exact GSMATCH, instead of a
generic 10/2 major/minor.
That'll get you (un)deserved : SHRIDMISMAT,  ident mismatch with
shareable image

Last install I did a few weeks back was 'custom' as to get the SQL*ldr
and other utilities and I know I successfully got a working Pro*C out
of that.
I seem to recall it comes with the default install, but you may want
to go custom.

If you continue to have problem, either contact Oracle support, or be
SPECIFIC about how it does not play ball. Exact commands ? Error
messages? Names of file/directories assumed to be missing (and what
made you believe they should be there ?!)

I have that file in an ALLPHA oracle client home /precom./admin
But the first version has useles crud refering to non applicable
directories and the higher version are alls empty files.
I don't have those file under my Itanium root, and the Pro*Cobol
compiler seems to work fine. Must try Pro*C to make sure at some
point.

Thanks, I will look at getting the patch installed.

I was assuming the .cfg had links that told it where to look -
compiling a niot very wonderful bit of .pc, simply using
$ proc essenq.pc

Pro*C/C++: Release 10.2.0.2.0 - Production on Wed Nov 25 20:27:31 2009
System default option values taken from: ora_proc20:pcscfg.cfg


I Then get messages that it cannot find the basic C header files:

Error at line 38, column 11 in file essenq.pc
# include       <stdio.h>
...........1
PCC-S-02015, unable to open include file
Error at line 39, column 11 in file essenq.pc


So presumably it doesnt know DECC etc.

I had a very similar issue with the Pro*Fortran pre-compiler (same
version, on Integrity).
Some of the necessary include/header files were either not included,
or not in the correct place.
Oracle support provided a patch that corrected things.
Good luck.

Yes, I discovered the DL to expand them, then all worked fien

Hi Chris,

    I face same problem here.  What you mean of "DL"???

   The same problem as what?  DownLoad?  DcL?  I don't know.

   From "to expand them", I might guess that the solution
involved extracting the C header files from their text
libraries into loose files (where some too-portable
preprocessor might be able to find them).  In olden times, the
C compiler installation procedure would offer to do this, but
this may not be true now.  (Or the option might not have been
selected.)  Of course, with my weak psychic powers, I have no
idea what you're actually doing, or with what you're actually
doing it.

   The last time I needed "to expand them" (where "them" was
these C header files), I used this:

      http://antinode.info/ftp/misc/cheader.com

But, of course, with no useful information, I have no idea if
that might help you with your "same problem".
