This is a known issue - see the OracleXe setup page here:

https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/OracleXeSetup

Oracle for some reason installs the 32bit driver in the default
library path, even on a 64bit machine. The 64bit perl DBD module then
gets confused when the Oracle driver is apparently 32 bit.

To fix it I have a file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/spacewalk.conf which
contains 

  /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.4/client64/lib/

Then ldconfig -v.


Regarding rhel-instnum, I got mine from the Stahnma client tools
repository:
