I need to connect node js with oracle db in MAC Terminal. So, for the installation tried the steps in the link https://github.com/nearinfinity/node-oracle I have set the below paths after copying the instant client files from oracle link to a folder in path /usr/InstantClient/

$ export OCI_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/InstantClient/sdk/include $ export OCI_LIB_DIR=/usr/InstantClient/ $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/InstantClient/

But, getting error like Error: At least one file failed to compile.

Am I doing any mistakes in setting the path or environment variables? Can anyone provide me steps to install oracle module to use with node in MAC terminal? Thanks

EDIT: The error list I get is as follows on npm install db-oracle:

unameits-Mac-mini:InstantClient vinod$ npm install db-oracle
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/db-oracle
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/db-oracle

> [email protected] install /usr/InstantClient/node_modules/db-oracle
> node-waf configure build

Can anyone please help? – vinod Oct 5 '12 at 10:25
    
You say you are getting an error 'like' "Error: at least one file failed to compile". Vague error details make it difficult for us to be able to help you. Please post the exact error you are getting. – Luke Woodward Oct 5 '12 at 10:32
    
Hi Luke, Thanks but, I have mentioned that error in my previous post itself. Please see – vinod Oct 5 '12 at 10:35
    
What previous post? I've been through all of your node.js questions and I can't found an error message. I cannot believe that the only error message you're getting is Error: At least one file failed to compile. I repeat: please post the exact error message you are getting. If it really is in a previous question or answer, link to it. Feel free to include the last command you ran at the terminal and all of the output it generated, as that may help us. – Luke Woodward Oct 5 '12 at 10:42
    
Normally, if you want to do anything with Oracle, you need to define ORACLE_HOME. In your case probably ORACLE_HOME=/usr/InstantClient – ik_zelf Oct 5 '12 at 10:57
