2. Installation

2.1 How to obtain KSqlPlus

You can download latest KSqlPlus package from follow sites:

2.2 Requirements

In a nutshell:

You must have installed (and bought) ORACLE software and properly configured Oracle environment for usage KSqlPlus with local SQL*Plus. Oracle sqlplus is included in Oracle client software since Oracle 7.0 version (or even early). Oracle for Unix installation includes both server and client software usually and you must have sqlplus already if you have installed any Oracle software.

I don't need any Oracle software on your computer for usage of KSqlPlus with remote SQL*Plus - only the remote shell RSH or SSH and configured account on the some remote host with installed Oracle software.

Anyway, you can compile KSqlPlus sources without Oracle libraries and Oracle Call Interface headers because KSqlPlus is not linked with Oracle software directly.

2.3 Compilation and installation

In order to compile and install KSqlPlus on your system, type the following in the base directory of the KSqlPlus distribution:

% ./configure
% make
% make install

You can assign additional options for configure for indication of your actual KDE and Qt libraries/headers location. Try

% ./configure --help
to get full options list.

Since KSqlPlus uses autoconf you should have not trouble compiling it. Should you run into problems please report them to the the author at Yury Lebedev.

KSqlPlus is created with help of KDevelop 1.0 IDE ( http://www.kdevelop.org) and KSqlPlus distribution contains KDevelop project file. Better way to compile KSqlPlus is compilation using KDevelop.
