Oracle Database Discussions

Hello Forum,

I am trying to do a software only silent install of Oracle 11gR2 on
Oracle Enterprise Linux R5U4

After the installer finished, I set my environment variables and tried this:


[oracle@sb2oel ~]$ sqlplus /nolog
sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.11.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[oracle@sb2oel ~]$


As you can see, I have a problem with libclntsh.so.11

I went looking for it:


[oracle@sb2oel ~]$ envg ld
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib
[oracle@sb2oel ~]$ ls -la $LD_LIBRARY_PATH/libc*

[oracle@sb2oel ~]$
[oracle@sb2oel ~]$

I tried to relink it:

[oracle@sb2oel ~]$ relink client_sharedlib
client_sharedlib not a valid parameter
optional parameters: all
[oracle@sb2oel ~]$ relink all
writing relink log to: /oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/install/relink.log
[oracle@sb2oel ~]$

That did not fix it.

Anyone bump into this?

Any tips?

Should I just toss OEL in the trash and use something else like Centos?
