What system are you using? Some days ago I installed successfully DCOracle on
my RedHat 6.0 system with an Oracle 8.0.5.
If you have a Linux system you may not have an SQL*Client, you should install
an entire Oracle server just to have the client library files.
If you want you may manually copy the necessary files from the Oracle
distribution CD, but I have never done this. This may not be very complex, if
you are good at compiling and linking C programs/libraries.

I may help you, if you want,
