You need the client portion (including the "developer" portion)
of the Unix Oracle distribution (you do *not* need the Oracle
server).   Typically you or your system administrator can
install the Oracle client portion from the same CD used for
installing the whole Oracle software.   To be more precise, you
need the Oracle's Pro C/C++ precomplier and the Oracle libraries,
all provided in the client portion (of course, you also need
a C compiler and other standard tools such as make, ld, etc.)

It is possible to compile ROracle in one machine and then copy the
compiled package to other similar Unix boxes that don't have the
Oracle client software.  Read the files "INSTALL", "README", and
"README.client" under the "inst" directory (to do this you'll need
to untar the ROracle_0.3-3.tar.gz file, say,

    gunzip ROracle_0.3-3.tar.gz tar xf ROracle_0.3-3.tar cat
    ROracle/inst/README.client
