@vk1818 I somehow got this to work… I’ve probably spend at least a whole day trying to get this to work. I hope it helps someone else. I’m on Linux Mint 18.3

download the rpms from the oracle instant client
Use alien to convert them to dep
install with dpkg
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/12.2/client64/lib
create oci8.pc file at /usr/local/share/pkgconfig
go get github.com/mattn/go-oci8
