[Zope-DB] Oracle and Zope on Linux

[D.RickAnderson]

Thanks for the reply. The drectory that it "should" be in is 
/usr/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/lib. unfortunatly it's not. I've set all the env variables 
according to the Oracle install instructions. If I do a find -name libclntsh.so.8.0 from / it doesn't 
find anything. I've walked up and down the directories hoping to find something similar to no 
avail. I've even uninstalled Oracle, installed just the client, installed EVERYTHING and nothing 
seems to work. Is there a client for download that includes this file?  Are there going to be other 
files like this one that give me a problem?

Thanks again,

Rick
