Exactly. Which means if you're going to follow the letter of the law, a license for Oracle Developer Edition may be required. (I'm not familiar with Oracle's licensing policies though. Maybe there is such a thing as a "developer license" for using these libraries.) It doesn't exactly promote open, unadulterated development of Oracle clients. -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "`This must be Thursday,' said Arthur to himself, sinking low over his beer, `I never could get the hang of Thursdays.'" --Douglas Adams, _The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy_

You need the OCI distribution and/or an Oracle installation, or at least the include and lib files that comes with them.
Really annoying when you're working with an ISP's server -- or any other case where the server doesn't belong to you and is not physically within reach -- unless they're inclined to send you the files.
A point of legal note is that the client libraries are licensed as well as the server, so you can not *legally* copy things like this under most license agreements. You need to check with your admin about the licensing agreement issues.
