Oracle Programming on HPUX

Any suggestions for how to go about developing an Oracle application on UNIX?
I have been brought into a project that is falling behind schedule and will have the opportunity to redesign some portions of it. This will be my first UNIX/Oracle programming project. I have written UNIX applications in the past and have lots of experience writing Visual C++ Oracle apps (using CDatabase) but this is the first time I will use Oracle from UNIX
.
The current team is using Rouge Wave to access Oralce but cannot get it to work in the UNIX environment (it will work on NT). RougeWave's tech support seems terrible and we always have to wait for days for an answer.
I have been looking at Pro*C but it seems to be a real pain. You have to run it through a precompiler and then use generated code which makes it difficult to set break points.

Would you suggest staying with RougeWave? It could be the developers more than the product.
Is Pro*C a good way to go? Maybe it is easier than it seems once you get into it.
Is there another method that I should consider?

Can anyone suggest a good IDE? We are currently using Softbench. It would be great if there was a product that integrates with Pro*c.

Thanks,
