From your comment, I assume your Oracle installation is in /ora, so ORACLE_HOME should be /ora ORACLE_SID should be set to the SID of the database. LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/ora/lib in your case. I tried the same thing, running svrmgrl from the $ORACLE_HOME/lib directory and it still didn't work. Oracle Support had me set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and everything worked just fine. Make sure your LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set correctly. "env | grep LD_" If it isn't set right, it will not work. Lastly, if you have a single installation of Oracle, your ORACLE_HOME should be a single location. I have never tried having multiple paths in ORACLE_HOME. I don't know how Oracle will operate. (I have never had more than one database active on a system at a time. Others may have other results.)
