I have the same problem with Kylix3 and DOA, it can't find OCI dll. Based on the previous post my env. is correct--What file is it looking for? oci.dll is a MS thing the file names are different under Linux. I just reinstalled OCI to make sure I'm not having one of those Oracle installer issues.

It looks for libclntsh.so in the $ORACLE_HOME/lib directory.

i try to use DOA 4.0.3 with kylix 3... but it stuck...
it also have the same error which is "initialization error could not locate OCI dll"

can anyone help me...

Can you check if $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libclntsh.so exists and is accessible?

i know that the file is in /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/lib but when i use
cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib
it will go to /lib

i guess the matter is $ORACLE_HOME is not set properly...
i've done the installation just like what it said in http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/smiley_10gdb_install.html

can you help telling me how to set $ORACLE_HOME

Thanks...

In your .profile or .bash_profile, add the following statements:

ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
export ORACLE_HOME

Log off and log on again to make this effective.
