Can you get a stack trace with "bt"?
If you are dying in dld.so, not much you can do. Does any 64 bit program run at all?

[Hein van den Heuvel]

sqlplus, assuming you are refering to the Oracle interactive SQL tool, is supposed to work and is know to work for simple stuff, like activating it. Period.

If it does not work, there there is something major wrong with the configuration.
Wrong flavor of code, 32 versus 64 bitnes, messed up environment.

So just go back to the basics...

- Fresh install? Did it ever work? What changed?
- Which OS versions & Platform
- Which DB version and target platform?
- Are the two compatible according to Oracle.
- Does it fail for all users?
- What Oracle environment is targeted for a failing use?
# env | grep -i ora
# env | grep -i library

Hope this helps some,
Hein

But i think this can help you to identifies the Error

[Dennis Handly]

>but what you need, I can do.

Again, can you get a stack trace with "bt"?
Any patches recently installed?
