Oracle gives just gives you a zip with some executables and shared
libraries in it. I guess they figure you know where to put them.
I see that there's some application specific subdirectories in those
shared library locations. Should I make a subdirectory, such as
/usr/lib/oracleInstnatClient/, and put the shared objects in there?
And then just dump the executables into /usr/bin?

Typically, "system" and "packaged" libraries go in /usr/lib, and
"user installed" libraries go in /usr/local/lib or /opt/lib.
Certainly, though, Oracle knows this and has designed their package
to put things in the proper spot. How *is* the Oracle library
packaged? In a tarball (a .tar file)? A .bin file?

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
