Re: Installing just the Oracle client libraries on Linux

You need to get the Oracle Server 8.0.5.1 software for Linux. The after starting the installation
you'll have the option 'Client' which will install the needed client libraries.

Another way is to install SQL*Plus and NET8 Client which is almost the same.
