Oracle 8.1.7/Solaris 8 - sqlplus failing [message #97436]

I have installed Oracle 8.1.7 on a Sun Solaris 8 workstation after much toiling! (Grant's suggestion re: semaphores helped me tremendously - thanks)

When I come to launch the command sqlplus at the command prompt I get the following error:

$ sqlplus
ld.so.1: sqlplus: fatal: libclntsh.so.8.0: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed

I have checked directory /export/home/oracle8i/product/8.1.7/lib to ensure the symbolic links exit and files (see below), reboot the machine and sqlplus continues to fail to launch.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 oracle8i oinstall 16 May 9 02:52 libclntsh.so -> libclntsh.so.8.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 12 May 9 02:21 libclntsh.so.1.0 -> libclntsh.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle8i oinstall 10259920 Sep 8 2000 libclntsh.so.8.0

Any idea(s) how to resolve this? Many thanks in advance.

with your database down (if you have one) go to $OH/bin and type relink all

Thanks for getting back to me:

I have:

/export/home/oracle8i/product/8.1.7/bin and typed "relink all".

$ relink all
relink: /usr/ccs/bin/make: not found
relink: /usr/ccs/bin/make: not found
relink: /usr/ccs/bin/make: not found
relink: /usr/ccs/bin/make: not found
relink: /usr/ccs/bin/make: not found
relink: /usr/ccs/bin/make: not found
relink: /usr/ccs/bin/make: not found
relink: /usr/ccs/bin/make: not found
relink: /usr/ccs/bin/make: not found
relink: /usr/ccs/bin/make: not found
relink: /usr/ccs/bin/make: not found
relink: /usr/ccs/bin/make: not found
$

$ cd /usr/ccs/bin/
$ ls
ld m4 regcmp sparcv9
$

There is no such file or directory named "make" here as you can see.

I recall that when I was installing the Oracle product, on the second CD it came up with messages
that it could not "make" /usr/ccs/bin/make - which I select "Ignore" to.

Is there any way I can avoid re-Installing the product?

What is the problem with the Installation that it can't make the /usr/ccs/bib/make entries?

Many thanks --> Pat Dolan

Pat,

YOu have not followed the instructions in the Install manual. Page 1-7 System requirements.

YOu have to first determine if you are using the correct executables.

/usr/bin/which make
/usr/bin/which ar
/usr/bin/which ld
/usr/bin/which nm

Make sure that your /usr/ccs/bin in the begining of your path statement in .profile

Then relink all

HTH

Hi,
You are attempting to relink Oracle without all the Solaris packages installed that you required . I think you need to install both SUNWbtool and SUNWsprot from Solaris CD. You should also make sure the make command is your PATH too.
