Dear Pradeepta,

please be more specific in your email headers - you'll
get more replies from people who are actually
competent for your problem :)

From your error message, there appears to be a problem about the file
oci8lib.so (see here:

http://ruby-oci8.rubyforge.org/svn/tags/ruby-oci8-1.0.... )

This article:

http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoConne...

describes a way to connect to Oracle from Ruby on Rails
( you don't seem to be using it, but nevertheless), so
assuming that you did everything right as described there and
things don't work nevertheless, I'd suggest you try out
using â??oracleâ?? rather than â??ociâ?? as an adapter, which is supposed
to be newer, as described here:

Best regards,

Axel
