Client 10.1.0.3.0 Vs Runtime Service 10.1.0.2.0

Question

My Owb client run on a Win32 box, the Runtime Service run on a Linux ( Suse ) box.
The client is patched with release 10.1.0.3.0 but I cannot find the same patch for linux platforms, so when I try to deploy my project on the Runtime repository the OWB client raise the following error:
RTC-5321: The Runtime Service version and
the Minimum Runtime Platform version are not
compatible. The Runtime Service version
( 10.1.0.2.0 ) must not br less than the Minimum
Runtime Platform version ( 10.1.0.3.0 )
I've tried to export the project on a .mdl file, downgrade my client from 10.1.0.3.0 to 10.1.0.2.0 and import the project but import fails.
What I've to do to deploy a Project created in a Design Repository release 10.1.0.3.0 on a linux Runtime Service?
Thank's

The new instant client looks promising on SuSE 9.2.
You need to rework some things, though.
1. setup the dynamic linker:
- add a line "/usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2/client/lib" to the file /etc/ld.so.conf
- then run ldconfig
2. create or copy a tnsnames.ora file:
- cd /usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2
- md -p network/admin
- copy a tnsnames.ora from somewhere to network/admin/tnsnames.ora
3. add some environment: edit /etc/boot.local
- add a line: export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2
- add a line: export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
- add a line: ORACLE_SID=(some TNS name)
4. add another link for convinience
- cd /usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2
- ln -s client/lib .
in order to have the so-files also at $ORACLE_HOME/lib which is rather often used in Java-Parameters "-Djava.library.path", for example in JBoss run.sh Scripts.
