Re: Oracle/Linux Installation Problems

I'm having a similar problem, my installation fails to create the libclntsh.so shared library.
But if you said your installation went smoothly, then the libclntsh.so module should exist
(probably in $ORACLE_HOME/lib), the OS just can't find it. In any case, try setting
your environment variable, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, to $ORACLE_HOME/lib.

Have anyone installed oracle on RH7.1 system? It's using glibc 2.2. And according to
Oracle, glibc 2.1 is strongly recommended. I would hate to have to track down a
RH6.1 CD and trash my current server. Thanks.
