Re: Q: LD_LIBRARY_PATH troubles on SUN server

Hi,

we are using Oracle 7.3.2 OPS on PDB 1.2 cluster, consisting of two SUN E3000 solaris 2.5.1 nodes.

We have no problem setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH at all.

The only thing I can say is, that in your statement I missed the "=" (equal) sign. Maybe a typo only ...

The correct statement should be:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=blablabla:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

You (or you SysAdm) could do one more check, using the utility truss(1M).

  1. Login as the super-user.
  2. Execute the following command. This will do an switch user to user "oracle" inlcuding setting the environment for this user. Please, don't place the output file into /tmp, because /tmp will be newly created during system start.

# truss -o my_output_file su - oracle

3. Suppose the server crashes again, you should be able to analyze the file my_output_file. Maybe, this can give you some hints for trouble shooting.

Regards,

Silvio
