libclntsh.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file (linux Red Hat install)

Unbelievable, finally past that error... gees I typed out this question in hopes of an answer - and my last line of troubleshooting seemed to work - so I'm going to post anyway in case anyone else gets stuck as I did!

I recently purchased the Red Hat Linux (Kernel version 2.036), installed the custom setup onto my PC which included gcc c lib 2.07 - and overall meeting the requirements for the installation.

I downloaded Oracle 8.0.5, uncompressed and extracted to a staging directory and then ran orainst, installed the majority of the products - it went fairly smoothly - certainly no errors and then I created a test database. Even the listener looks to be up and running.

However, despite having the oracle account's env variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH = $ORACLE_HOME/lib I could not access svrmgrl or sqlplus - receiving in either case the error libclntsh.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory The file does exist and I can access it (if I add that lib directory to my PATH I prove it - it doesn't run of course).

As an act of desperation I did this!
% /bin/csh
% setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib

...and what do you know, the C shell wins the day...I was previously using /bin/sh

later

Greg
