SQLPLUS core dump (Oracle 9.2.0.1)

[Carlo Henrico_1]

Sorry about the length of this, but the more info, the better we can solve this.

I have just installed Oracle 9.2.0.1 on HP-UX 11.0 64 bit. After having numerous problems, I decided to read the manual... :)
Patches (seem) up to date
Kernel Parameters are fix'd
Environment variables are fix'd (especially the lib/lib32 difference) and the NLS parameters are set.
However, whenever I try to run sqlplus, I get a Memory fault(coredump):

Running:
$ file core
$ core: ELF-64 core file - PA-RISC 2.0 from 'sqlplus' - received SIGSEGV

If I run "adb sqlplus core"
$c
afixdpt+4A4 from afixdpt
afixdpt(
cannot unwind -- no unwind entry. (1)

Running :
$ gdb sqlplus core
Detected 64-bit executable.
Invoking /opt/langtools/bin/gdb64.

Any help will be appreciated.

hi,

Try setting the NLS_LANG environment variable to match your database, example,

export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII

you may also consider relinking everything again.

Hope this helps!
