Hi There
Have you tried setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env. variable to point to your $ORACLE_HOME/lib
The problem looks a lot like one I had once, when not setting the above variable.
P.S: Did you ask the Oracle installer to create the client libaries? (I'm not sure whether it asks during install on Linux - but it does on Digital Unix and AIX) If not you should be able to find a make file somewhere (I don't recall exactly where) for building the libaries.
Hope this helps.
