Hi,

I have installed the oracle 11 binaries without any database install. However when I execute sqlplus - I receive this error message

"./sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libsqlplus.so: cannot open shared object file:

a) Not sure if I need to relink or install a package
b) Do I just set my environment variables

I have a oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1 as install location

What do I set the following variables to or do I relink/install?

$ ORACLE_BASE=xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx
$ export ORACLE_BASE
$ ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/xxx/xxx
$ export ORACLE_HOME

After I have done this will I be able to issue sqlplus and get SQLPLUS> even though there is no database installed as yet ?

Thanks again

Hello,

thanks for swift reply. So I can understand do I need to set the PATH variable only?
And how do I amend the variable that is already set ?

Thanks

LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LIBPATH should contain $ORACLE_HOME/lib or lib32 depending on your OS.

By the way "echo $PATH" is not the same than "env | grep PATH"
ALWAYS post "env | sort" with your post.

Sorry missed that bit

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/oracle/product/11.1.0/client_1/lib32
ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/product/11.1.0/client_1
PATH=/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/home/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/bin:/home/oracle/product/11.1.0/client_1/bin

I changed my ORACLE_HOME to point to client_1

As you can see below sqlplus sits in the folder client_1 and within that directory there is a folder called lib32

If I execute the command below the error it gives is a missing file. But I can clearly see that file in the same folder I am running sqlplus from.

./sqlplus
./sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libsqlplus.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Have I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH incorrectly? There is no /lib folder hanging off client_1

Does this help?

Many thanks again

Something seems to be very wrong.

- The "sqlplus" that is below $ORACLE_HOME (the client_1 directory) should be a directory, not a file.
- There shouldn't be any library files directly in $ORACLE_HOME
- Having no "lib" folder below $ORACLE_HOME is also not right.
- There is also no "bin" folder below $ORACLE_HOME

Which binaries from where did you install, and how?

Hi,

I downloaded the Linux Binaries from oracle site
version 11.1.0.6. then upgraded to 11.1.0.7

The install worked OK - I did not see any errors and I used the runInstaller
Then I upgraded to 11.1.0.7 - again no issues

I was reading on the web and somewhere I read said if there are no ORACLE_BASE
I may have to reinstall - but I'm afraid I will get back to the same point


what do you suggest

Well, the installation usually works when you follow the installation instructions to the letter. It usually fails when you skip steps.

Sorry, but no steps have been skipped. Like I mentioned the installation was successful
but no database has been built, only the binaries have been installed as suggested.

If you can help that would be appreciated, if not then thanks for what you have offered so far

The thing is, there are files missing that should be there, so the installation was not successful.

Can you post the log of the linking process (<ORACLE_HOME>/install/make.log) and the installation log ( <oraInventory>\logs\installActions<date>.log )?

I also faced this issue and just wanted to update how the issue was resolved...

Make sure that all the entries are "exported" (using export command) as well. If its not exported, "echo $ORACLE_BASE" might show as home/Infa_Linux/app/Infa_Linux, but "env" command will not show this variable in the list and things will not work as expected.

Minimal entries required in the .profile files are

ORACLE_BASE=/home/Infa_Linux/app/Infa_Linux
ORACLE_HOME=${ORACLE_BASE}/product/11.2.0/client_1
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:${ORACLE_HOME}

export PATH
umask 022

export ORACLE_BASE
export ORACLE_HOME
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH


My installation also dumped everything under the home/Infa_Linux/app/Infa_Linux/product/11.2.0/client_1 and there were no bin or lib sub folders under client_1.

Don't know whether its because I ignored all the pre installation warnings or all the rpm packages mentioned in the prerequisite were not installed before installing oracle.

Anyway still I was able to connect to oracle using sqlplus

Enter user-name: scott/tiger@//hostname:1521/mydb

hostname is the name of the server where the database is hosted
1521 is the port
mydb is the service name of the database
