Can't open shared library: /oracle/Oracle9i/visdb/9.2.0/lib32/libclntsh.sl.9.0 no such file
Hi All,
I am working on HP-UNIX11.11 and Oracle 9.2.0 platform. I am generating one executable file and while compiling I am linking my source code with oracle 32 bit client shared library "libclntsh" dynamically. I am able to run my program successfully in a machine on which I compiled my program. But when we are trying run the same exe on client machine it is failing and giving below error.
$ myexe /usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /oracle/Oracle9i/visdb/9.2.0/lib32/libclntsh.sl.9.0 /usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory Abort(coredump)
Oracle path it is refering above is of my local machine oracle installation path. So at client machine also it is refering same path. Actually it should refer the path from SHLIB_PATH environment varibale which client has defined.
When I ran "ldd -s myexe" it is showing the absolute path of oracle installation in my local machine. Hence the same thing is happening on client machine also. Since client machine having oracle software at different path it is not able to find the library it needs dynamically...
I am linking the library in my makefile as per the standard rules only. I.e with -L(ORACLE_HOME)/lib32 -lclntsh only. But still my executable including abosolute paths of my local oracle installtion paths.
Can any one help me on this. Am I doing anything wrong. Do I need to do some thing more to instruct my program to search the libraries from SHLIB_PATH only?

Venkat,
both your SHLIB_PATH and embedded path are disabled. You could enable you SHLIB_PATH with : chatr +s enable myexe This should enable the lookup to the shared library.

Jean,
Thanks a lot for your valuable response. But the solution worked partially.
Actually I need to link 2 libraries dynamically with my source.
1. xerces-c++ parser for parsing XML files(-lxerces-c) 2. Oracle 32 bit client libraries (i.e -llibclntsh)
I set both of these paths in SHLIB_PATH variable. I ran "chatr +s enable myexe" as you suggested. With this the problem has gone with oracle shared library finding (libclntsh) but the problem is now coming at other library. I.e xerces library. It is giving the below error:
usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't find path for shared library: libxerces-c.sl.26 /usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory Abort(coredump)
Now my doubt is that if I execute "chatr +s enable myexe" then my program should refer SHLIB_PATH variable for both libraries but why it is not finding in case of xerces and how come it is finding in case of oracle libraries.
Lookig forward for your precious reponse to close this issue.

Jean,
I tried with many options still I am having problem with xerces-library not found error.
Getting below error: /usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't find path for shared library: libxerces-c.sl.26 /usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory Abort(coredump)
I set this library path in SHLIB_PATH also as follows. /home/naren/socket1/xerces-c_2_6_0-hpux_11i-acc_a03/lib:/oracle/Oracle9i/visdb/9 .2.0/lib32
Tried with following options. I am out of Oracle 32 bit library path problem but still getting problem with xerces library. I doubt still it is taling embedded path only.
