Ok. Since you installed AOLserver 3.4 instead of the 3.3+ad13 tarball, you have to make sure you get the other modules, including the oracle driver. Here's what you need to do:

Go to AOLserver page at Sourceforge and download the nsoracle-2.6 module.
tar zxvf nsoracle-2.6.tar.gz
cd nsoracle-2.6
make INST=<path to your AOLserver installation> (e.g. /opt/aolserver or /usr/local/aolserver)
Now you should have two modules: ora8.so ora8cass.so
make install should copy these modules to your AOLserver bin directory or you can just copy them manually to $INST/bin
Make sure you are starting AOLserver with a script like nsd-oracle so that it has the Oracle-related environment variables properly set.

Hope this helps.
