error message "Oratcl_Init(): Failed to load % with error".

I found the answer to my own question :) My problem occurs when I tried
to use Oratcl4.3 with Instant Client Oracle 10g Basic.

Answer:
Considering that my ORACLE_HOME environment variable is set to
"/opt/oracle".
I create a Symbolic Link from Instant Client Oracle 10g Basic directory
to $ORACLE_HOME/lib/
export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle,
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Before running tcl script for testing Oratcl connection to my database,
I create a symbolic link from libclntsh.so.10.1 to libclntsh.so in my
Instant Client directory.
Finally, I tried a tcl script and everything was OK ;o)

Excellent. Would one of the WIKI maintainers add this? I will add
this to the Oratcl sourceforge README later this week!

Just to clarify, are you saying I can use OraTCL to connect to an Oracle
10g database??? If so, that's great news! I thought it only supported
up to Oracle9?

Are there any limitations with using OraTCL ? e.g. Can't work with
BLOBS, etc.? Or does it do it all? =)

It all works just fine with 10g. The only problem is that the instant
client does not have the symlink you created by default.
