No, this does not help :-(

I just found the the solution. In the ORACLE_HOME variable an ending "/" 
will cause the problem. LD_LIBRARY_PATH and ORACLE_HOME has indeed the 
same value, but somehow the Oracle libs don't link ending slashes ...

Is there a possibility to check the environment valiables in cx_Oracle 
first? The would help to track down the problem!
