I"m using Mac 10.5.6 (Intel 32 bit) and trying to connect to an

<http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/intel_macsoft.html>.
Sadly, when I try and run my console app to connect, I get this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /opt/oracle/
lib/libocijdbc10.jnilib:

Any ideas? My CLASSPATH is set to include /opt/oracle/lib/
classes12.jar. How can I troubleshoot this further?

You might see if setting the library path helps:

java -Djava.library.path="..."

Alternatively, the Oracle thin drivers are here:

<http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/\jdbc_10201.html>

One wonders why the OP is using classes12.jar and not ojdbc5.jar. The former
was supplanted by the Java 1.4 version over seven and a half years ago, and
that version became obsolete with Java 1.4 itself about a year ago. With Java
5 just about two weeks away from its own end-of-service-life date, shouldn't
we be using at least the Java 5 libraries?

I'm not even sure classes12.jar fully groks all the capabilities of Oracle 10g.

The price is right; update your Oracle JDBC driver library.
