Step 1:install Oracle Client Library

Url:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linuxsoft-082809.html

or search:instant clients download for Linux x86

Download:instantclient-basic-linux-version.zip # Choose your version!!!!

Instantclient-sdk-linux-version.zip # header files to compile Cx_oracle

Unzip them to one directory

Step 2:config enviroment Variables

Export Oracle_home=/path/to/instantclient # must

Config Ld_library_path (I used it but failed, so I edit file/etc/ld.so.conf)

After edit ld.so.conf file, you need run ldconfig (as root)

Step 3:install cx_oracle

Prepare:python.h

Yum Install Python-devel or apt-get install Python-dev

Cause "/usr/bin/ld:cannot find-lclntsh", you need does this

CD $ORACLE _home

Ln-s libclntsh.so.version libclntsh.so # repalce version to right num

Now you can does this:

Pip Install Cx_oracle

Good Luck
