Oracle 8.0.5 for Linux - Shared library problem

I've installed Oracle 8.0.5 on my Red Hat 5.2 Linux and the installation was OK (no errors in install log
files nor during the installation on the screen).

I get the following error when starting oracle executables such as svrmgrl, orapwd etc.:
orapwd: error in loading shared libraries

libclntsh.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Here are some informations:

[root_at_lbv1 lib]# pwd

/opt/oracode/oracle/lib

[root_at_lbv1 lib]# ls -l libcl*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 2421440 Sep 30 07:44 libclient.a

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Feb 9 12:29 libclntsh.so -> libclntsh.so.1.0

-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 4357729 Feb 9 10:08 libclntsh.so.1.0

[root_at_lbv1 lib]# set |grep ORA

ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracode

ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracode/oracle

ORACLE_SID=LBV
[root_at_lbv1 lib]# exho $PATH

bash: exho: command not found

[root_at_lbv1 lib]# echo $PATH

.:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/lbv/bin:/home/oracle/bin :/opt/oracode/oracle/bin:/home/lbv/bin:/opt/oracode/oracle/lib

[root_at_lbv1 lib]#

As seen from the above there is a symbolic link from the missing file, so why doesn't it work?
Does anybody have a hint? Thanks in advance

Kind regards
