Another Oracle 9i and Linux question....

I've read all the Oracle 8/9 and Linux threads and I haven't found an answer to the issue I'm having. During install, I get the following error:

"Error involving target install of makefile ..ins_plsql.mk"

The make.log file shows the following error:

"ld: cannot find -lclntsh"

So it looks like libclntsh.so is missing right? Simple enough. I look for the file and it doesn't exist. Yes, I've already added $ORACLE_HOME/lib to my ld.so.conf as well as searched my entire system for this library. I checked the Oracle website and they mentioned that in Oracle 8, there was an issue where some of the libraries weren't being created correctly and I could in turn create them manually using the following command:

make -f ins_rdbms.mk libclntsh.so

Unfortunately, I get a make error here as there does not appear to be a make tag for libc1ntsh.so.

My Linux distribution is Slackware and I consider myself pretty good with Linux. Could anyone suggest a solution?
