[cx-oracle-users] install problem

[Randall S. <ra...@tn...>]

I installed the oracle client 8.1.7 on Debian SID.  I have Python 
version 2.3.3 installed.  I downloaded 
cx_Oracle-4.0.1-8i-py23-1.i386.rpm and converted it to 
cx-oracle_4.0.1-2_i386.deb using Alient and installed it.  No errors 
appeared during the install.

This is the result:

Python 2.3.3 (#2, Feb 24 2004, 09:29:20)
[GCC 3.3.3 (Debian)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import cx_Oracle
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: libclntsh.so.8.0: cannot open shared object file: No such 
file or directory
 >>>

Any clues?
