And of course my crystall ball should tell me your platform, and no 2 Unixes are exactly alike!
That said, sbtinit, sbtclose and sbtopen are routines from the Media Management API coming with RMAN. On Solaris the libobk.so file is responsible for the interface with the Media Management software. kpu loosk like an Oracle routine though and it looks like you are linking with a version of OCI your client simply doesn't support. This group won't be able to resolve that as you fail to state which client you are using, and your 'new' version of Oracle has been desupported more than a year ago.
