I try to install gem for ruby 2.7.0

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary

need configuration options.
Is there a way to install it successfully?
BTW. sqlplus works fine

It seems that wrong oci.h is used (from /usr/lib/sdk/include instead of /usr/include as installed by oracle-instantclient-sdk)

How can I tell to use different oci.h?
My dirty solution was to replace oci.h in /usr/lib/sdk/include with the one from /usr/include.
I have oracle-instantclient-basic installed on my Arch Linux. There is no instantclient folder. The libraries are in /usr/lib
oracle-instantclient-sdk installs into /usr/include/:
I try to install gem for ruby 2.7.0
ruby 2.7.0p0 (2019-12-25 revision 647ee6f091) [x86_64-linux]$ gem install ruby-oci8fails with:Is there a way to install it successfully?

Now gem installs fine 👍
