:) sorry, that doesn't tell me anything. Maybe you have some drivers 
installed that I do not? But even then I do not understand... what is 
VIEW (something SQL/in a database? are you opening a database 
datasource?) What's OCIDescribeAny?

The first argument to ogr::Open is a directory or, in the case of 
databases, something else and the second is 0 or 1 depending if you want 
to open readonly or r/w.

I've written so far small apps with ogr (perl module) which change the 
SRS of a vector data layer, open and dump a vector layer, or create a 
completely new vector layers, and those are working ok. Could you please 
post the whole code?
