distutils.errors.DistutilsSetupError: cannot locate an Oracle software insta

检测：

1. echo  $ORACLE_HOME是否正确输出oracle-client的路径

2.     env  | grep  ORACLR_HOME 是否也正确输出

若以上输出有问题或无输出，

那么我们这么办：

1.检查/etc/profile 配置是否正确(不要忘记export  ORACLE_HOME)，确认是否忘记source /etc/profile

2.sudo visudo  (第二种情况的链接：http://lorcancoyle.org/wiki/public/cxoracle)
