I don't know what the status on 8i compatability is, have you tried it? It might just work.
I was able to get the library to compile against 8.1.5 for Linux and it works except for the LOB support. Querying a LOB from a table causes a core dump. I haven't looked into it farther than that.
Note that Oracle's client libraries change in non-backwards compatable ways quite often. You many need to make minor adjustments to the code.
We do not have 8i, and the only way we're going to look at it is if one of our customers requires 8i compatability or wants to specificly pay for 8i integration.
You should be able to download 8i for Linux for free. Not that doing so would give you any more *time* to work on the problem of porting... Doug
