RE: Why should we assume LD_ASSUME_KERNEL during oracle product installation?

On Solaris 5.8, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is unset on my systems for 10g, and set for 9i, as that has changed in 10g for Solaris.

It is annoying to discover some documents do state to set it -- such as as Chapter 8 OUI OPatch user's Guide B16227-03 software patching. (however the same document give examples of unix commands with incorrect syntax in the previous sample... so setting the variable is also probably a mistake).

Hi Jared,

Yes you are right!!..you could have re-directed me to google if you didnt want to give suggestions, Thanks for your valuable reply. But my question in general is why in some case we assume LD_ASSUME_KERNEL. are there any particular reason?.

I don't understand this sentence. It seems to imply that you don't think
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is necessary with 10g.

Yes I thought the same that 10g doesnot require any Kernel assumptions. Correct me if iam wrong.

reg,
Anand
