While trying to install the cx_Oracle Python utility, I encounter the following error: | mxODBC is compatible with the Oracle ODBC drivers on Windows and Unix, such as the ones included in the [http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html Oracle Instance Client]. |

The only package I could find online that provides any such file is a cd i/o library, and that doesn’t seem right. I am running a 2.4 linux kernel, trying to install cx_Oracle-4.0.1 on top of Python 2.4. I have tried the beta package which should be more 2.4 compatible, but still no luck. Any help is appreciated.
