Oracle 10g r2 Instant Client

[Michael L. Squires]

I'm playing with the 10g release 2 LINUX Instant Client using the 10g r1 
ports installation as a base.  I hope to connect to a 10g r1 server at 
work.

At this point the basic and SQL*Plus stuff installs.  I have the SUSE 9.3 
linux emulation installed; sqlplus can't find its own library, which is to 
be expected given that I haven't yet set up the library paths, 
ORACLE_HOME, or TNSNAMES.ORA.

If someone has already done all of this, please advise; otherwise I'll 
post any successes/failures here as they happen.

One package I'd like to try is TORA.

The system on which things are installed is a Toshiba 8100 running 
5.4-STABLE, Xorg, KDE, and eventually OpenOffice 2.0.
