Hi,

Oracle Call Interface, the c level api for accessing Oracle db's. Do you 
have oracle installed? Is it in your path?
Sounds like you have an ms with Oracle spatial support....

----snip from the ms site---
We also have binaries compiled with Oracle Spatial support. Oracle 
Spatial support replaces the PostGIS support so you won't be able to use 
it to connect to PostGIS databases. You can only use these binaries if 
you have Oracle client DLLs--we can't redistribute those libraries. 
Anyway, select from the two options below:

    * ms402_gif_oracle.zip
      <http://hypnos.cbs.umn.edu/projects/downloads/ms402_gif_oracle.zip>:
      Same as ms402_gif_pg.zip except Oracle Spatial support replaces
      PostGIS.
    * ms402_png_oracle.zip
      <http://hypnos.cbs.umn.edu/projects/downloads/ms402_png_oracle.zip>:
      Same as ms402_png_pg.zip except Oracle Spatial support replaces
      PostGIS.

----snip----
If you dont have oracle, get another ms binary.
