Re: Determine if 32-bit or 64-bit installed

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin

$ file oracle

if 32bit you would see sth like this:
oracle: ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped
if 64-bit you would see:

oracle: ELF 64-bit MSB executable SPARCV9 Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped
