Error connecting to Oracle on Red Hat 7.2 with WL 7.0

Question

I able not able to connect to Oracle on Red Hat 7.2. I have tried both 9.0.1 and 9.2.0.
I am able to use a very similar configuration and W2k and it works.
Here is the situation:
I have installed Weblogic 7.0.0.1 on Redhat 7.2. It works fine in generic form.
I have also installed Oracle 9.2.0 client files. I have verified connectivity with
a remote database using the Oracle tnsping tool. I have modified the startWLS.sh
file so that the oci901_8 libraries are used by Weblogic. I have added the following
line to startWeblogic.sh:
------ BEGIN code snippet ---
# --- Setup Oracle ---
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/lib
POST_PATH=${WL_HOME}/server/bin/oci901_8:${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:
------ END code snippet ---
My config.xml file has this entry (which works on NT)
---------- BEGIN config.xml snippet ------------
<JDBCConnectionPool DriverName="weblogic.jdbc.oci.Driver"
Name="wamiPool-Oracle"
Properties="user=bomb;password=wami;server=WAMI_DB"
Targets="myserver" TestTableName="Country" URL="jdbc:weblogic:oracle"/>
--------- END config.xml snippet ------------
On startup I get this error:
------- BEGIN Error -----------------

at weblogic.jdbc.oci.Driver.connect(Compiled Code)@b8d7910
---------- END ERROR -------
I have also tried using the Weblogic dbping utility. When I use this I get this
error:
---------- BEING ERROR from dbping ------

An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.

Any ideas?

Hi David,
The driver for 9.2.0 is not yet out. You may want to use the thin driver.
You can also request this driver by filling a support case.

ORACLE_HOME is set to
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0
and LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/lib
These are same values I used for the tnsping which does work.
Any other ideas?
