As suspected the libclntsh.so.12.1 is missing from the libraries.

As suspected the libclntsh.so.12.1 is missing from the libraries.

So where is that file? What does ldd......libclntsh.so.12.1 return?

from the ldd output that you can see above. libclntsh.so.12.1 is not found on the machine libclntsh.so.12.1 => not found I am not sure if I can find the library in the OS CD, as it seems to be Oracle specific library file. Please let me know how to get the file.

Regards, Amitesh

from the ldd o/p it is clear that the library is missing

"LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/lib"

Instead I could see another version of that lib.

ll | grep -i libclntsh.so.11.1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 oracle dba libclntsh.so -> libclntsh.so.11. -rwxr-xr-x. 1 oracle dba libclntsh.so.11.1.

Since this seems to be Oracle specific library, I am not sure if it would be present in the OS CD.

Any ideas ??
