Yep, that is probably the reason. If you can make a standard 32bit JRE
work, then installing Oracle seems quite possible.

Concerning the tool chain: I noticed (on Solaris, both 32 and 64bit)
that you actually only need a few libraries and a few support files to
compile and run C applications using the OCI. In fact, this works a
lot better for me than following the slightly bizarre way recommended
by Oracle to compile C applications.
So if the toolchain is your only problem, I would not worry too much
about that. Copying the client libraries over to a 64bit system should
not be difficult. (That is assuming you want a 64bit client
application in the first place.)
