Too possibilities:

  Oracle made incompatible changes between 8 and 9.
  In this case, the code would need to be adapted.

  Oracle repackaged the libraries (such that you now need additional
  libraries to link against).

Fortunately for you: I have read a message reporting a successful build
of DCOracle2 againt Oracle 9.
The poster had to make small changes to the build process.
Please search the mailing list archive, for details.
