Because I keep forgetting this trick, I'm documenting it here so I don't forget. To install ruby-oci8 on Ubuntu (and possibly other unixy platforms) do this:

sudo env ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME gem install ruby-oci8 -v 1.0.7

Drop the "-v 1.0.7" if you want the latest version of ruby-oci8, but keep in mind that the latest version is in the 2.x range, and may be incompatible with your Rails app.

Also, instead of setting $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (on Ubuntu anyway), you can create a file under /etc/ld.so.conf.d (I called my oracle.conf), with the path to the Oracle lib directory. Here's what mine looks like:

# oracle.conf
/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib

Then run sudo ldconfig. Run man ldconfig if you want to know exactly what your options are.
