import cx_Oracle fails!

[Daniel]

And, completing my answer, I'm sending you all how I finally got the
Python 2.4.1 and cx_Oracle-4.1 running on my HP-UX (sukz) box:

Box: HP-UX B.11.11

Compiling Python 2.4.1 with gcc 3.4.3
=====================================

./configure --with-libs='-lcl'

Added Makefile options:
CC=             gcc -lc -lpthread

Changes on pyconfig.h:
Turn "#define _POSIX_THREADS" on


Compiling cx_Oracle-4.1:
=======================

Make sure to setup Oracle variables:

	setenv ORACLE_HOME /oracle10/product/10.1.0
	setenv ORACLE_BASE /oracle10
	setenv TMPDIR /var/tmp
	setenv PATH ${PATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
	setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib32
	setenv SHLIB_PATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib32
	setenv TNS_ADMIN $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin

Changes on setup.py:
		from: libPath = os.path.join(oracleHome, "lib")
		to:   libPath = os.path.join(oracleHome, "lib32")


And finally:

$ python
Python 2.4.1 (#20, May 18 2005, 20:33:21)
