Walt, I don't remember their being an Instant Client with 9i. I believe it started with 10g.

From what I've found, not only is it not available for RHEL5 but it's nowhere to be found now. I DO have a copy of the Linux version of the Oracle client that's over a year old, but I don't think it's the instant client. I also don't what I'm supposed to do is possible, but if anyone has any information that might help it would be much appreciated. Thanks, --Walt Weaver Bozeman, Montana
