JDBC OCI8 driver for Redhat linux 6.1

Question

I have oracle 8.1.5.0.1 Enterprise server loaded on RedHat linux 6.1 and i am trying to access database through jdbc. When I am trying to execute one of the compiled class say Employee.class provided in the JDBC samples directory using OCI* driver it is coming up with an error libocijdbc8.so can not open shared object file: no such file or directory. This libocijdbc8.so file can not be found on the disk. Can some one please provide me leads where can find this driver? ar Oracle's website or somewhere else?. Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Answer 1

One more thing, I tried this with both jdk1.1.6_v5 and jdk1.1.8 and also i have class path pointing to $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/classes111.zip file. and the code is
/* This sample shows how to list all the names from the EMP table
// You need to import the java.sql package to use JDBC
import java.sql.*;
class Employee
public static void main (String args [])
throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
// Load the Oracle JDBC driver
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
// Connect to the database
// You can put a database name after the @ sign in the connection URL.
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:oci8:@NaiduT2", "scott", "tiger");
// Create a Statement
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement ();
// Select the ENAME column from the EMP table
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery ("select ENAME from EMP");
// Iterate through the result and print the employee names
while (rset.next ())
System.out.println (rset.getString (1));
// Close the RseultSet
rset.close();
// Close the Statement
stmt.close();
// Close the connection
conn.close();
}
