A month or so ago I needed to connect a Rails site to an Oracle database from cygwin, osx, and linux (both 32 and 64 bit).
I’ve release the fruits of my labors as a collection of rakes files for each OS on github:

Hopefully this will help someone else out. Feel free to fork and let me know of any updates and improvements that are needed.

Thank you for sharing! I need to setup a rails application using oracle database on a 64 bits linux and it’s not an easy task… I’m facing some problems, hope your project will be my solution!
Really nice thing you’ve done, doing a rake file for this!
