You have to have oracle client software (specifically sql*net) installed and configured. Test using TNSPING to see if you can reach the database you want to talk to. You also need to link with the correct library for your compiler
(e.g. c:\orant8\oci73\lib\msvc\ociw32.lib or similar) and the necessary DLL needs to be in your path.(this should be stup if you installed thc lient software properly)

Hope this helps
