Data Services 3.2 Setup fails 'shared library libclntsh.so not found'

[Former Member]

I have been trying to install DS 3.2 for 3 - days now. It appears that everything I am installing with is supported but I continue to receive the error. I have looked at the related notes but they are not helping.

Here is what I am trying to install on, any thoughts on what I might try next?

Red Hat Linux 5.5

Oracle Instant Client 11.2.0

External Oracle 10G repository Database 10.2.0.4.0

I am receiving the error 'shared library libclntsh.so not found' even though it is contained in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH and I can connect to the repository database using SQLPLUS and Oracle 64-bit libraries.

Here is the library path entry for the file:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 sapds sapds 17 May 3 14:06 libclntsh.so -> libclntsh.so.11.1*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 sapds sapds 52364813 Apr 5 10:43 libclntsh.so.11.1*

Here is the salplus connection header.

are you using DS 3.2 64-bit Linux Package or 32-bit Package ?

if its 64-bit then make sure that the Oracle 64-bit lib is before 32-bit lib in the LD_IBRARY_PATH

run the following commands to see if sqlplus is using 64-bit version

which sqlplus

this will print the location of sqlplus pass that to file command to see if its 64-bit version

file <complete path of sqlplus/sqlplus>

I think this will be required if you are configuring Repo at the time of install, skip that and complete the installation first , you can create Repo after that (either using Repository Manager from Windwos or using $LINK_DIR/bin/repoman command from Linux)

I used your suggestion and was able to get the installation finished. Thanks for your reply.
