ROracle install problem

Hi, 

I am trying to install the ROracle package in a Linux-64 machine.
I downloaded from Oracle's site their Instant Client bundle but it seems that
ROracle needs some stuff not included in that kit in order to compile (in 
particuar, the 'proc' executable).

I did not find any other linux client suite in Oracle's site, (our db runs on 
a Solaris server, so I can not use the included binaries).

Does anybody know how to solve this? Is there any workaround? 
 
Thanks,

Ariel./

You can't use the Instant Client.  You need to get the full client CD
for your platform.

It is there.  Go to:

  http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html

and click on "Oracle Database 10g" (or 9i, or whatever), then on your
platform, and look for the Client CD.
