- You'll need to download and install the Oracle client. This is available from http://otn.oracle.com. If you used CD's to install the database on your linux box, it's also on the Windows database CD.
- When you install the Oracle client, a version of the Oracle ODBC driver will be installed. Generally, you'll want to grab an updated driver from OTN and install that with the Oracle Universal Installer (installed as part of the Oracle client install).
