Oracle db access on Linux

Greetings. We're an Enterprise LWW customer evaluating that platform for
Linux. We have Oracle 8.1.7 installed on Redhat 7.2, but can't seem to
initialize CommonSQL with a database type of :ORACLE. For example, 

(require "oracle")
(sql:initialize-database-type :database-type :oracle)

yields an SQL-ERROR of "Database type ORACLE is not supported"

According to the LW docs, we should indicate oracle's install directory via
an environment variable. That would seem to be ORACLE_HOME, and it's set to
oracle's root install directory.

We don't want to use ODBC. What am I missing? Thanks...
