I think I read somewhere that this error sometimes happens as a kind
of catch-all, and doesn't really mean what it says. I think it can
mean that an executable wouldn't run, or couldn't be found in the
search paths currently in use by the app (and not that it wasn't there).
You seem to have two files in this message, (Oracle.so and libclntsh.so.8.0).
Have you checked both? There should have a symlink libclntsh.so pointing to
libclntsh.so.8.0 I think.
Have you checked that the paths are correct when this happens?
Check especially LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
