On a Solaris client too.

I know where the files are supposed to be and when I last installed a Linux client, OCI was an optional package and it installed fine.

On the Solaris client CDs, there's no mention at all in the installer about OCI (except the JDBC part) even though you can find a mention of it in the packages.jar and on the 3rd CD, I was able to find the oracle.rdmbms.demo packages and the much-needed files.

That sucks.
