The geoBD extension must be installed on the gvSIG version it was developed, which is indicated in the download table of the extension. This version of gvSIG must be correctly installed in the PC.

The installation steps are:

• Download the file from the web.
• Uncompress the downloaded file.
• Execute the “install.bat” or “install.sh” file depending on whether the OS is Windows or Linux.

If the installation process doesn’t automatically find the folder where the correct version of the gvSIG application is installed, it has to be manually indicated. For instance, in the case of a geoBD extension for gvSIG 1.0.2 in Windows XP, the folder could be C:\Program Files\gvSIG 1.0.2

Oracle drivers installation is required for access to Oracle databases of the geoBD extension. Please follow the steps bellow:

1. Go to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) drivers.
2. Accept the license terms.
3. In the next page, download the file ojdbc14.jar (1,545,954 bytes) - classes for use with JDK 1.4 and 1.5. (Registration required)

4. Move this file to the next folder:

• Windows:
  • Move the file to the bin\gvSIG\extensiones\com.iver.cit.gvsig\lib folder, that is in the directory where gvSIG is installed.
• Linux:
  • Move the file to the bin/gvSIG/extensiones/com.iver.cit.gvsig/lib folder, that is in the directory where gvSIG is installed.
