Hi there,

i want to develop a console application in Kylix 3. Whenever i want to run the executable file in a console there appears this exception: undefined symbol: initPAnsiStrings.
This is only if i include the units Oracle, OracleDate aso.

If i run the program in the IDE it works fine.

Is there no possibility to run your Components in a console program or is the problem on my linux system?

thanks Garby

I performed a little Google search, and found the following page with possible solutions:

I hope this helps.

Ok, the Connection works in the IDE.
If i want to run the ConsoleProgram in a Terminal Window, the exception "could not locate oci dll" appears. In the console i get this message: cannot connect to X server.

The ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_OWNER Variables were set. ORACLE_HOME/bin is added to the PATH Variable.

Thanks for helping.

I had to add the Oracle library path to the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH= Variable to get console applications to work with oracle.

This dosen

I have checked my variables again and the only additional thing is that i have the /home/oracle/lib in the path also.

By the way i think that you made only a typing error with "LD_LIBRARY_PATCH" there is an extra "C" in what you posted here.

Yes Kylix needs some Patches but it is still a "PATH".

It works now in the Terminal Window, but in the console appears the message cannot connect to X server.

In the uses section there are 3 units: SysUtils, Oracle, OracleData;

any Ideas?

thanks

Is the DISPLAY environment variable set correctly?

The DISPLAY Variable is set to ":0"

thanks

Ok all works fine now (even in the console) except one thing.
The console program runs only when a X Server is started. Is this the standard behavior or is somthing wrong with my system?

thanks
