A few years ago (2000 ?) I installed an oracle client on a linux server
(oracle8iR2 on Debian Woody) and everything went beautifully. (with
DBD::Oracle)
Now, I need an oracle client on my new laptop. (debian Sarge)
I tried oracle 10g instant client but whitout success. See below.

Then I tried to install the client (ship.client.lnx32.cpio)
But this seems not to be possibe on a Debian. Dee below

And now I do not know what to do.
I did also try to install the old oracle8iR2 but also without success.
