Hi Guyz,



Its 64-bit SunOS 5.8 sparc, I'm installing Oracle 9.2 client. Everything
goes well during the installing phase of the installation but during
linking phase, I'm getting the following error as extracted from the
logfile:



Install logfile:

Now if I run sqlplus, I get the error: ld.so.1: sqlplus: fatal:

If I run tnsping, I get the error : ld.so.1: tnsping: fatal:

Killed



Can someone please point out where am I doing wrong or wut is missing
here?



Thanks a lot! Appreciate your suggestion.



Khan

I'd put up this problem some days ago. I'm still getting the same
problem and its getting critical now.



Can someone please suggest me how can I install the lclntsh and lm
libraries which seem to be missing?



Thanks

Here are a few ideas:

libclntsh.a is built by oracle, is part of the oracle client. I'm assuming
that is missing because it can't find the Solaris 8 math libraries (libm.a).
Is that visible to you in /usr/lib ?

$ORACLE_HOME/install/make.log will show the true errors.

Have you verified that you have all the correct Solaris 8 Packages and
Patches installed?
Specifically SUNWlibm

Are you sure you have the 64-bit install?

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/relink client_sharedlib - manually build libclntsh

Khan,

My guess is that its a problem with the setting of one or other of
your environment variables. In particular, I would suggest

checking the instructions for setting environment variables in the
installation docs
(http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/A96167_01/pre.htm#sthref228)

don't set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, its usually an accident waiting to
happen in my experience.

Hi David,

(a) Here are my relevant environment variables:

ORACLE_HOME=/usr/vendor/oracle/client/9.2.0.6

(b) I'm confused about your opinion of LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I've clearly
read at many places that it should be set to $ORACLE_HOME/lib to avoid
any error during install.

Thanks,
Khan

Khan,

ld is failing to find the library. So either its not there, which is
unlikely as long as you're using the right installation media, or it
can't find it because the path its using is messed up. I do a lot of
oracle installations and I generally find the best way to proceed is
to do exactly what the official docs tell you to do *and no more*, at
least in the first instance. They don't tell you to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 so why don't you try unsetting
them and seeing if it fixes the problem?

Regards
David Lord

2008/5/21 Khan, Muhammad S :

I thought that LIBPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH were platform-specific and
mutually exclusive. By it's value, it seems obvious that LIBPATH isn't
needed to install the Oracle client. Try unsetting it and installing.

Are you using Sun's default compiler/linker, gcc, or other? Examine the
documentation for it's prereqs to see if yours qualifies.

If this truly is critical, you'll want to open an SR with Oracle Support.

HTH! GL!

Rich

Could be lots of stuff, but mostly likely *guess warning* is a difference
between the effective environment variables due to a difference between
.login and .profile or the similar analogous operations in the various
levels of subshells. For a starting point diagnostic, since the problem is
cropping up in ins_sqlplus.mk, you can copy that (saving the original) and
put some diagnostics in it to puke out your envirionment and variables
before the error is reached. Then figure out where to fix it. Sometimes it
is as simple as something being shelled when it should have been "dotted."
Sometimes it is complicated, like permissions on symbolic links to the real
locations so you can't reference the places even if the environment values
look right. Have you got a sudo going on and you mean to do a -l?



Hmm. I thought in 5.8 there were "64" references on the library directories
for the 64 bit libraries, but it's been a while. Are you installing the
32-bit client on a 64-bit machine?



Good luck.

Khan,


I have the following environmentals on my Solaris machine. It is for
the database and not the client, but it may be the same.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32:/usr/lib
