Thank you, 2nd step: INSTALLATION
I've tried, time and time again, and always getting:
The ORACLE_HOME environment variable is not set and I couldn't guess it.
It must be set to hold the path to an Oracle installation directory
on this machine (or a machine with a compatible architecture).
See the README.clients.txt file for more information.
ABORTED!
The problem is that this linux system hasn't Oracle inside it. My intention
is to access an Oracle server remotely. WHAT #$%@ SHOULD BE THE VALUE OF
THE ORACLE_HOME VARIABLE?????/
Help me, please!!!!
Thank you all.
Alejandro
