ORA-01804: failure to initialize timezone information

Question

Hello,
I am having an issue to connect my C++ application to my Oracle DB. When my code calls oracle::occi::Environment::createEnvironment(), I get an error "ORA-01804: failure to initialize timezone information".
The application works on other people's Windows machine with their Oracle DB. But it doesn't work from my machine connecting to their Oracle instance. So I guess the issue does not come from my instance but rather from my Oracle dlls maybe?
I would appreciate any suggestion to solve that issue.
Thanks,
Tom

You getting me wrong, I am using SQLplus.
I mean when I run the query as you can see above it runs, but when the same statement is in my procedure and then when I run it I get timezone error. Here is the entire sample code:
set serveroutput on;
whenever sqlerror exit;
execute dbms_output.put_line('Creating/replacing procedure MyTest...');
create or replace procedure MyTest
as
inter interval day(6) to second (0) := to_dsinterval('2 2:05:13.34');
myDate date;
utc_time timestamp;
begin
     select current_timestamp at time zone 'UTC' into utc_time from dual;
dbms_output.put_line('utc_time ' || utc_time);
     dbms_output.put_line('ER - inter ' || inter);
     --myDate := utc_time + inter;
myDate := to_date(to_char((utc_time+inter),'YYYYMMDD'),'YYYYMMDD');
dbms_output.put_line('myDate ' || myDate );
end;
execute MyTest;
execute dbms_output.put_line('Execution completed...');
show errors;
