I was able to make it work by unpacking the instant client in ashmon\bin
directory and using EZCONNECT to host name. This is my listener.ora

[oracle@medo admin]$ cat listener.ora
# listener.ora Network Configuration File: /oracle/product/11.2.0/
dbhome_2/network/admin/listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = medo)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
)
)
DEFAULT_SERVICE_LISTENER=HOME
ADR_BASE_LISTENER = /oracle

Of course, EZCONNECT must be in the sqlnet.ora. This enables me to
connect like this: sqlplus scott/tiger@localhost

Default service for listener is set in the listener.ora and EZCONNECT
allows me to use hostort/service syntax to find my database. Now, we
can try ashmon.bat:


Z:\tmp\ashmon\bin>ashmon.bat

All those messages do not bother me, ashmon appears and works.

In other words, Oracle Instant Client 11.2 works under wine. That opens
some possibilities....
