I'm sorry, I thought I'd made it clear that I did try that path the way the scripts were calling it and I got no such file or directory. I've never seen a path with a double slash work, that is a new one on me. I only have one ORACLE_HOME but I am with you on the 64bit issue and am in the process of installing the latest 64 bit Oracle 9 release, here is hoping that works.

I have seen "//" many times in the past in Oracle installation scripts and that has never caused a problem. You should be able to verify whether it is a problem by giving the path you think is a problem as an argument to ls and seeing what happens. I doubt it is causing any trouble in your case. > One of the errors in the log shows: > > /usr/bin/ld: Skipping incompatible > /u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1/lib//libclntsh.so when searching > for lclntsh > > If you remove the // you can cd into that lib director and find the so > file easily, there are several of these. > > Anybody have any suggestions? What I am wondering about is the possibility of 32-bit versus 64-bit libraries. I don't see a Linux amd64 version available for download on OTN, but I understand those are only made available some time after subscription distribution. So my question becomes, what architechure are you running on - is it i386 or x86_64? If your system is a 32-bit machine then everything should be i386 and elf32 file formats. You can check this using objdump -f <library-file>.so Also, do you have multiple Oracle homes? If so, it is possible you have an environment variable set that is causing the link to refer to files in the wrong Oracle home. -- C.
