    I hope this post saves someone some time. I also hope it hasn't been posted
    a million times before, if so, I just suck with Google.

    Preface:
    You have to compile from source because the FC binaries do not include the
    Oracle plugin. The binaries from the Tora homepage do include the Oracle
    plugin, but they don't come compiled with KDE support or anti-aliased
    fonts...ugly.

    Installation:
    1) Install (via yum so it gets all the dependencies):
        qt-devel
        kdebase-devel
    2) Download (www.oracle.com) and install
        oracle-instantclient-basic
        oracle-instantclient-devel
        oracle-instantclient-sqlplus
    3) cd /usr/lib/oracle/$VERSION/client/lib
        ln -s libclntsh.so.10.1 libclntsh.so
    4) Download the Tora source and unpack it into /usr/local/src
    5) cd /usr/local/src/tora-1.3.14.1
    6) Edit configure.pl. Insert on line 1049:
        $Includes=&addInclude($Includes,""."/usr/include/oracle/10.1.0.3/client");
    7) export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/$VERSION/client
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
    8) ./configure
    9) Edit Makefile. Comment out line 332:
        include $(ORACLE_HOME)/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk
    10) make && make install

    God, what a pain! Why doesn't someone maintain the Oracle plugin for Tora
    for FC3?
