+ * you don't have to install the instant client into the various /usr/... locations. It will work fine in a directory of your choosing. e.g. /home/matt/instantclient_11_2
+ * oracle instant client has downloads for both RPMs and ZIP files. Note the RPMs will install into the /usr/... locations. The ZIPs have a structure where everything is in a single directory.
+ * installing into a single directory in a user home avoids issues with permissions. Note that using "su" versus "sudo" can have implications for file permissions if you do ever install oracle instant client to the /usr/... directories as a regular user.
 
+These steps worked for me on a Fedora system:
+
+1.) download the 3 files related to oracle instant client:
+instantclient-basic-linux32-11.2.0.1.zip
+instantclient-sqlplus-linux32-11.2.0.1.zip

+7.) create symbolic links:
+ln -s libclntsh.so.11.1 libclntsh.so
+ln -s libocci.so.11.1 libocci.so
+
+8.) run the configure script (from your GDAL directory, e.g. /home/matt/gdal-1.7.2):
+./configure --with-oci-include=/home/matt/instantclient_11_2/sdk/include --with-oci-lib=/home/matt/instantclient_11_2
+
+9.) run "make" from the same GDAL directory:
+make
