Install Oracle.

Probably just looking for some specific library from Oracle, just like
most other DBD's do. If you can download the source code and figure out
what that library is, you may be able to install just that file and go,
but probably easier to just install Oracle. Oracle does not need to be
running on the local server, just installed for the libs.
