Hi.

Sorry for asking a question possibly already described in faqs (though
I couldn't find the answer ;( ).
The matter is that I've downloaded
"Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 3 (8.1.7.0.1) for Linux (Intel),
with OPS".
It's a 536 Mb tarball. I've found neither *.c, *.h, *.so, *.a nor
*.{tgz,zip,gz} OCI files related in the distributive. I know that in
1997 there were no free OCI libraries/headers for Linux, but later
posts to different newsgroups make me think that the situation has
changed. Please guide me where can I get all the stuff to run my first
DIY OCI based hello-world.

Thanks,
Sergey

Oracle 8.1.7 for Linux is complete in the sense that it includes server
software and basic client development software, especially OCI. The
library is mainly just libclntsh.so. The headers can be found under
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms (sorry, I just have no 8.1.7 at hand at the moment).
