OSX connection issues - Githubissues

Good morning,

I'm hoping you all can help me out. I'm just trying to connect to an oracle db on a mac pro running Lion. I've installed the 64bit instantclient (10.2.0.4.0) and gotten db-oracle installed successfully. When I try to connect, nothing happens. The callback never fires, no events get emitted, and my sadness is total. I DO get a warning (and the port is not standard, as you can see):


coffee> oracle=require 'db-oracle'
{ Query: [Function],
  Database: 
   { [Function]
     COLUMN_TYPE_STRING: 0,
     COLUMN_TYPE_BOOL: 7,
     COLUMN_TYPE_INT: 2,
     COLUMN_TYPE_NUMBER: 3,
     COLUMN_TYPE_DATE: 4,
     COLUMN_TYPE_TIME: 5,
     COLUMN_TYPE_DATETIME: 6,
     COLUMN_TYPE_TEXT: 1,
     COLUMN_TYPE_SET: 8 } }
coffee> db = new oracle.Database {hostname: 'example.com', user: 'user', password: 'pass', port: 1530, database: 'adb'}
{}
coffee> db.connect (err)->console.log 'connected', arguments
WARNING: ev_ref is deprecated, use uv_ref
undefined
coffee> 
coffee> db.isConnected()
false
coffee>

I tried running sqlplus with the instantclient to check that I could connect to the db. it seg faults. That's apparently a known issue with the 64bit client and they who wish to overcome use the 32bit client. So I installed the 32bit client, and reinstalled db-oracle. I'm able to connect to the db with sqlplus with no problems, but even just requiring db-oracle fails:

coffee> oracle = require 'db-oracle'

I don't really care if I'm using the 32bit or the 64, as long as it works. Suggestions?
