Hmm interesting because we did not see any of the issues listed in your post. May be our oracle client version is not the same as in your post. I am not an expert on oracle internals other than what ever remedy is needed. Recently we upgraded our env from version 7.1 to 8.0.002 in RedHat Linux 5.6 and currently going through UAT. I just asked our DBAs to install oracle client and they have installed it. No special instructions. The client they installed was SQL Plus 11.2.0.1.0 and I could see the libraries installed under lib folder. I do not have to install any oracle instant client as well. The remedy gui installer went find without any oracle related issues.
