http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/htdocs/102xelinsoft.html There's installation instructions for Debian(Which I believe Ubuntu is derived from) here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/files/install.102/b25144/toc.htm#BABFEDEI After the client is installed, then hopefully you can build and install the cx_oracle module. Good luck. If you get stuck maybe someone else can pipe in. Unless it's something simple, I usually have trouble if a package is unable to install due to some missing library or what not. Mike
