Re: Trouble installing JDBC driver for Java 1.2 in Solaris

I asked about the problem in the technet.oracle.com forum for JDBC and I assume this person who responded works at Oracle. At any rate, they wrote:

"Sadly, like the name implies, the OCI driver will require an OCI layer (i.e. and Oracle client install) of the same version it was built against (8.1.6 OCI). If you HAVE an Oracle 8.1.6 client install and are still seeing the problem, it is probably an environment issue (such as LD_LIBRARY_PATH or whatever the appropriate Unix setting is) such that the OCI driver can't find the 8.1.6 libraries."

In other words, they wrote and tested the new driver against Oracle 8.1.6, which they have not released yet. My guess is they put the drivers up for us to make sure we can still compile and also for their Beta testers, so they can try the driver. I replied, basically saying that (and that I wish they'd make that crystal clear) on Friday and no one has said that this interpretation of the story is wrong.
