Error 57 initializing SQLPlus

662681Oct 27 2009 — edited Feb 17 2011

Hi

I have the following installed on a web server (windows 2003 x64):

Oracle 10g XE
Oracle 11g ODAC (11.1.0.6.21)

I'm running an ASP.Net 3.5 website that connects to Oracle XE via Oracle.DataAccess. This all works fine on my XP development machine, but I have installed the above on our web server and am getting the following when trying to test with SQLPlus:

Error 57 initializing SQL*Plus
Error loading message shared library

It was initially working and I could connect with SQLPlus ok. I've since tried to test my ASP.Net app which failed to connect and now I get the above. Stopping/starting XE and listener doesn't get rid of it either. Strangly I can connect using XE's web interface and a reboot of the server temporarily fixes the problem until my asp.net app connects again.

This is really starting to annoy me because it works fine on my xp machine. Have searched the forums, but there's nothing that seems to match my problem, so I'd be grateful if anyone knows what might be going on.

Regards

John
