Error Message: cannot get Oracle version from sqlplus

Ruby-oci8 gem is failing with the following error message while built on ubuntu linux, even though I have my LD_LIBRARY_PATH and ORACLE_HOME set to the right path.

*Get the version of Oracle from SQLPlus... /ghostcache/nightly_build/components/ruby-oci8/akamai/ruby-oci8/ruby-oci8-2.2.1/ext/oci8/extconf.rb failed Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options.

Any idea what's missing here?

In my case, I just had to create a "bin" sub-directory under ORACLE_HOME, and then create a link to the sqlplus binary there.
