Oracle JDBC oci8 doesn't work

I have tried to connect to a databace Oracle 8.0.4 by JDBC - oci8 from a Java JDK 1.2 application.

The result is the following runtime error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no oci804jdbc in java.library.path

	at java.lang.Throwable.fillInStackTrace(Native Method)
	at java.lang.Throwable.<init>(Throwable.java:94)
	at java.lang.Error.<init>(Error.java:50)
	at java.lang.LinkageError.<init>(LinkageError.java:43)
	at java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError.<init>(UnsatisfiedLinkError.java:42)

	at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Compiled Code)
	at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:137)
	at Employee.main(Compiled Code)

I'm sure that the library oci804jdbc.so is in the path.

The classical example Employee.java results in the same error.

On the contrary, the Thin driver works well, but i hope the oci8 driver will be faster.

The Operating System for server and client is Sun Solaris 2.6

Can somebody help me?

Marco

Thanks in advanced
