Thanks for the update...forgot to mention I'm on a linux box. &nbsp;I assume it's still a permissions issue there as well??<br />
I have /opt/oracle/product/9.2/ for $ORACLE_HOME. &nbsp;There's a bin/ directory under this path. &nbsp;Do I need to chmod these permissions or chown??<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Thanks,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Your answer led to the solution! &nbsp;My parent directory /opt in /opt/oracle/product/9.2/bi<wbr />n didn't have execute permissions to run the client. &nbsp;The bin directory had all the right permissions and ownership. &nbsp;Thanks so much!<br />

I am trying to connect a 9.2 Oracle client to a 10g server but am receiving OCIEnvCreate() returned -1. &nbsp;I am using a utility that uses this information to connect to the database. &nbsp;The utility creates tables using the connection info. &nbsp;The utility justs sits there spinning it's wheels, but should be instanteanous. &nbsp;I checked the error log and found this info. &nbsp;I think this error may have something to do with permissions or not linking properly to the correct libraries. &nbsp;I am stuck...any ideas??

OCIEnvCreate() returned -1

Oracle is an object-relational database management system. It supports a large number of languages and application development frameworks. Its primary languages are SQL, PL/SQL and Java, but it also includes support for C and C++. Oracle also has its own enterprise modules and application server software.
