Re: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

Oracle 9i 64-bit for Solaris has a 64-bit extproc in $ORACLE_HOME/bin, along side it is a 32-bit version named extproc32. To use the extproc32, all you need to do is change your listener.ora to say

PROGRAM = extproc32

instead of

PROGRAM = extproc

restart the listener, reconnect your session and you should be able to load the 32-bit external library.

Note also that Oracle 8i 64-bit for Solaris only has the 32-bit extproc, so if you are migrating from Oracle 8i 64-bit to 9i 64-bit you will see this same issue.
