The Oracle 11g client is compatible with 10g and the full version of the client ships with soft links for the libclntsh.so.10.1 file pointing to libclntsh.so.11.1 which allows the server to run. The 11g Instant Client doesn't have these links but you can create them manually and then you should be OK to use that client.
Here's what I have in my 11g instant client installation that I use to run 7.6.03 on Solaris. bash-3.00$ ls -l total 145465 -rw-rw-r-- 1 remedy remedy 415 Nov 3 2009 BASIC_README -rwxrwxr-x 1 remedy remedy 25680 Nov 3 2009 adrci -rwxrwxr-x 1 remedy remedy 35488 Nov 3 2009 genezi lrwxrwxrwx 1 remedy remedy 17 Oct 15 15:31 libclntsh.so.10.1 -> libclntsh.so.11.1 -rwxrwxr-x 1 remedy remedy 45403016 Nov 3 2009 libclntsh.so.11.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 remedy remedy 11 Oct 15 15:32 libnnz10.so -> libnnz11.so -r-xr-xr-x 1 remedy remedy 7751832 Nov 3 2009 libnnz11.so -rwxrwxr-x 1 remedy remedy 1477416 Nov 3 2009 libocci.so.11.1 -rwxrwxr-x 1 remedy remedy 89381056 Nov 3 2009 libociei.so -r-xr-xr-x 1 remedy remedy 110576 Nov 3 2009 libocijdbc11.so -r--r--r-- 1 remedy remedy 1996228 Nov 3 2009 ojdbc5.jar -r--r--r-- 1 remedy remedy 2111220 Nov 3 2009 ojdbc6.jar -rw-rw-r-- 1 remedy remedy 37807 Nov 3 2009 xstreams.jar Note that for all Unix versions of 7.6.03 you need the 64-bit client files. The Windows server is available as both 32 and 64-bit versions and you'll need to use the appropriate client for the one you're running.

According to the Compatibility Matrix 7.6.03 requires the Oracle 11g (64 bit) client. When you installed the client did you install the Linux x86 or the Linux X86-64 client?

ARS 7.6.03 requires the Oracle 10g client. If you do an ldd arserverd you can see the files required - libclntsh.so.10.1.

I'm trying ARS 7.6.0.3 install on RHEL 5 with Oracle 11gR2 client. I followed the steps on KBM-K000000025578 (sort of), but no luck. After specifying DB HOME, The suite installer says "AR System does not support the version of the database client...."
