ROracle problem with Oracle9i on Red Hat 8.0

Hmm. I don't have (easy) access to Oracle9i, but I'd try to find
out whether the client library is indeed in the $ORACLE_HOME/lib
directory.  (I think the file name is something like "libclntst9.xx"
where xx may be "so" or "a").  Don MacQueen reported a similar
problem on Mac OS X, and he posted a workaround on the r-sig-mac list
on 7 Feb 2003.  I'm including here the relevant part of his posting:

DM = Don MacQueen

DM> The first work around is this:
DM> 
DM> cp  $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/libclntst9.a $ORACLE_HOME/lib
DM> cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib
DM> ranlib -s libclntst9.a
DM> 
DM> (look in the file $ORACLE_HOME/precomp/lib/env_precomp.mk for 
DM> references to libclntst9.a)
DM> 
DM> The absence of libclntst9.a in $ORACLE_HOME/lib may represent an 
DM> error in the Oracle distribution, or it may represent a lack of 
DM> understanding on my part.
