Did you add the line in ld.so.conf in first position or in last position? Could be related to ordering. Or, more simply, what you specify in ld.so.conf has precedence against /lib and /usr/lib, so the Oracle lib always wins. (man ld.so seems to suggest this). In that case you should not modify ld.so.conf for Oracle. Just run Oracle with a suitable LD_LIBRARY_PATH and do not pollute the system config. The Oracle installer should have created a oraenv file somewhere for you; it messes with some env vars, including LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You should run it (with ". /xxxx/oraenv") before Oracle. -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
