is resolvable on ubuntu?

you need install both cx_oracle , oracle client.

cx_oracle can found here.

an appropriate oracle client can found here.

you need set ld_library_path variable before start application. can done (for example):

export ld_library_path=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib 

now should able past cx_oracle error message.
