To compile DBD::Oracle on your Linux Box, you need some libraries
installed, so that the DBD::Oracle execultables can be linked with them.
The configuration script in Makefiel.PL tries to figure out where those
libraries starting from the ORACLE_HOME directory.

So for compilation, you need the oracle client and some OCI-libraries
installed. Once you have DBD::Oracle installed, to run programs you just
need the client.

If you just want a minimal to install on your Linux box, you might be
interested in this message (works with Oracle 10g under Linux and
Solaris): http://www.mail-archive.com/dbi-users@perl.org/msg20816.html
