I'm on Oracle Enterprise Linux.
The server was already restarted after upgrading from 9.1.1 to 9.1.9. The server comes up just fine. And on either versions on the box(9.1.1 and 9.1.9), adminpack.so isn't there.Brian

Otherwise you'd get a message like:
ERROR: function whatever() does not exist
If adminpack.so isn't there, you've got a problem.

Which operating system are you on anyway?
One explanation why adminpack might work even though the code is gone
would be that it was already loaded when the file got removed.
Try and restart the server and see if it still works.
