LD_LIBRARY_PATH_XX is it necessary

761017Aug 17 2010 — edited Aug 17 2010
Hi all,

I'm writing up some standards on Oracle builds within my organisation and I'm just wondering about the setting of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Is it still necessary to set the parameter? There's alot of documentation that says it shoudl be set to the Oracle homes lib/lib64 based on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH_32/64 Parameter, but in a multi home environment I find it does cause problems as the oraenv command does not alter the parameter even when setting the path with the $ORACLE_HOME parameter. And usually, by unsetting these parameters, the problem resolves itself.

Therefore, should the LD_LIBRARY_PATH_XX be set or left blank?

The OS is Solaris 10 btw.

Thanks in advance.
